Identity & Intelligence Layer

The Ownership & Provenance Core for the AI Economy

One line: A decentralized identity and reputation fabric that gives every agent, wallet, and intelligence entity a verifiable on-chain presence — anchoring trust, authorship, and value flow in the AI economy.

💡 What It Is

• Agent DID (Decentralized Identity): Each Decision Agent and user has a verifiable, self-sovereign identity (DID) tied to its wallet, strategy lineage, and execution history. This DID becomes the anchor for reputation, access control, and economic attribution.

• AI Wallet Binding: Every identity is bound to an AI wallet that can autonomously hold balances, sign proofs, and interact with services under user-defined policies. Wallets carry contextual metadata — budgets, limits, preferences, and risk parameters — allowing secure, 24/7 autonomous actions.

• Reputation & Provenance Graph: Every data source, agent, and model carries a composable trust graph — scoring performance, reliability, and verified outcomes. The network learns reputation organically from Proof-of-Delivery records, success rates, and peer attestations.

🧩 This layer transforms AI from anonymous executors into verifiable economic actors — owned, accountable, and rewardable.

🔗 How It Works

1. Verifiable Identity

   • Agents and vendors register through DID credentials or third-party attestations (Kite ID, Coinbase X402, Google AP2).

   • Each credential includes proof of authenticity, jurisdiction, and trust scope.

2. Bound Wallets & Policy Tokens

   • Wallets define guardrails for spending, risk, and venues.

   • Tokens represent programmable access — enabling AI agents to act without exposing user custody.

3. Performance-Based Reputation

   • Success metrics (PoD pass rate, latency, dispute rate) feed into transparent reputation models.

   • Agents route future decisions toward higher-trust data or counterparties automatically.

4. Open Credential Interoperability

   • Compatible with verifiable credentials (VCs) across ecosystems: identity proofs, payment authorizations, and compute attestations.

   • These credentials travel with agents, unlocking cross-network composability.

🧠 Why It Matters

Traditional digital identity frameworks are built for users — not for autonomous AI systems. The Identity & Intelligence Layer provides the missing authorship and accountability infrastructure for decentralized AI:

• For Users: Every agent you build or deploy is yours — traceable, ownable, and monetizable.

• For Developers: Provenance becomes programmable; every strategy, model, and data flow carries verifiable lineage.

• For the Ecosystem: Trust emerges bottom-up, from measurable success, not platform ratings.

AI agents can now carry credentials, manage capital, and earn reputation — forming the foundation of a true AI economy.

🔮 In Summary

The Identity & Intelligence Layer is where every actor in the TradeOS network — human or AI — gains verifiable existence and economic agency.

From anonymous AI to accountable AI. From models as tools to agents as participants.
