About this event
The moment a transaction involves money or identity, AI agents hit a wall. This session walks through the identity barrier blocking agentic commerce today, and how Proof is solving it with verifiable records and a new open standard called x401.

What you'll learn
- Why the wall exists: AI can fill out forms and click buttons, but legal and financial liability requires proof of human authorization, something no agent can fabricate or replicate today - What a verifiable record is: A cryptographically signed artifact tied to a NIST IAL2-verified identity that proves both who you are and that you authorized the agent to act on your behalf - How x401 works: A proposed internet standard that lets any online service communicate its identity requirements with the use of HTTP headers, accessible now to agents - What this looks like in practice: A live demo showing an AI agent encounter an x401 response, request a credential from Proof's cloud wallet, complete biometric verification, and successfully open an account, end to end
