As autonomous agents start to transact, a new surface opens where trust carries real weight. The work of establishing that trust already accounts for about 35 percent of the US labor market and $29 trillion in global activity.

The next layer being built now lets one agent read the reputation of the counterparty it is about to trust.

Generative models made faking a person, a credential, or an entire counterparty cheap, so proving a real one is worth that much more. Agentic commerce is arriving, and the signal that reads who is on the other side is taking shape right now.

A proven record is that signal: earned through real activity, readable by anyone who needs it. An agent checks it before it acts. The record travels with the actor across platforms and holds across time.
