AI agents are beginning to act and transact on behalf of people. Prove is building the identity and trust layer for agentic commerce, so businesses can understand who is behind an agent, what it can do, and what happened.

The internet is moving from users to agents
AI agents are evolving from interfaces into actors-capable of searching, purchasing, signing up, transferring funds, and managing accounts on behalf of users. But today’s digital infrastructure was not built for this model. It cannot reliably answer four critical questions:
Without clear answers, agent-driven commerce introduces fraud risk, weak controls, and dispute challenges. Prove is helping define the trust layer to make agentic commerce viable.

What we're building
Identity and trust for agentic commerce
Prove is building the identity and trust capabilities for agentic commerce around three milestones: know who's there, carry it through the payment, and keep the record. Explore how the suite connects agents to people, payment experiences and the evidence behind agent activity.
Milestone 1
Know who’s there
Agent Auth
Authenticate the agent and the human behind it
Designed to establish where an agent request comes from and confirm that a real person has authorized it, with a signed authentication result businesses can evaluate.
Core Capabilities
Agent provenance
Establish the origin of an agent request.
Human authentication
Confirm that a real person stands behind the agent's request.
Signed verification
Provide a signed yes-or-no authentication result.
Milestone 2
Carry it through the payment
Agent Payment ID
Connect agent payments to the person behind them
Designed to carry human-linked identity and trust information into payment workflows, so wallets, issuers and payment systems can evaluate an agent-initiated transaction.
Core Capabilities
Human-linked payment identity
Connect a payment interaction to the person behind the agent.
Payment trust context
Give payment participants identity information to inform their decisions.
Payment-specific formats
Present identity and trust information in formats suited to payment workflows.
Milestone 3
Keep the record
Agent Protect
Keep a traceable record of agent activity
Designed to connect agent actions and outcomes to the signatures and identity evidence behind them, preserving records that support investigations, compliance reviews and disputes.
Core Capabilities
Action and outcome records
Preserve what the agent did and the result of the interaction.
Identity and signature links
Connect the record to relevant signatures, people, keys and devices.
Review and dispute support
Make that evidence available for reviewing or challenging agent activity.
