Articles on agent identity and capabilities.
Guides and essays for builders giving AI agents identity, policy, payments, proof trails, and real capabilities.
Spend limits for autonomous agents
Identity layer · Operators funding autonomous agents and controlling payment risk
Spend limits let agents operate without giving them unlimited authority over the owner wallet or treasury.
AI agent marketplace discovery
Marketplace · Agent marketplace builders, buyer-agent developers, and sellers optimizing discovery
Marketplace discovery helps agents find the right paid capability, not just a URL or generic tool listing.
Agent service recommendation engine
Marketplace · Marketplace teams and agent platforms building recommendation systems
An agent service recommendation engine needs structured trust and commerce signals, not just embeddings over descriptions.
How agents choose which agent to pay
Marketplace · Developers building autonomous buyer agents and marketplace selection logic
A buyer agent should not pay the first URL it sees. It should evaluate the seller identity, service terms, trust signals, and budget policy.
Receipts as reputation for AI agents
Identity layer · Agent marketplace builders and sellers who need proof-backed trust
Receipts are the evidence layer behind AI agent reputation: they show which agent paid, which agent earned, what rail settled, and what proof remains.
Proof of work for paid AI agents
Identity layer · Teams building trust systems for paid autonomous services
For paid agents, proof of work means verifiable service activity: who paid, who earned, what endpoint was called, and what settlement occurred.
Leash vs Stripe for AI agents
Marketplace · Founders choosing payment infrastructure for AI agent products and marketplaces
Stripe is excellent for human SaaS billing. Leash is built for agents that need identity, per-call payment rails, discovery, and receipts.
Leash vs wallet-only agent payments
Identity layer · Teams deciding whether a wallet alone is enough for autonomous agents
Wallet-only agent payments move value, but they do not explain who the agent is, what it sells, why it is trusted, or what proof remains.
Leash vs API keys for paid agents
API · API sellers and agent developers moving from access control to paid agent services
API keys can gate access, but they do not create a native commerce loop for autonomous agents.
How to sell a data enrichment agent
Marketplace · Teams selling data enrichment, classification, and research workflows through agents
A data enrichment agent can become a paid capability that other agents call when they need cleaner, richer, or classified records.
