A payment adapter can verify the short-lived grant before it reaches the rail. If a valid grant is unavailable, the connected executor has nothing to honor.
Every decision lands in a tamper-evident, hash-chained audit anchored to Bitcoin. An auditor, a regulator or a counterparty verifies it against public keys, without trusting you or Fidacy.
Mandates, signed decisions and exportable records give governance teams concrete artifacts for review. Fidacy is evidence infrastructure, not a certification or conformity assessment.
A signed, verifiable decision record gives your team a concrete answer when a regulated customer, counterparty or insurer asks what the agent was allowed to do. It does not replace your controls. It makes the boundary and the evidence inspectable.
Whoever moves the money does not get to decide alone whether they could. That separation is what your counterparties, insurers and auditors can rely on.
The first deployment should make one consequential workflow visible, governed and provable. Then the same decision layer can extend to the systems around it.
Your rules as signed, versioned objects with backtesting. Spend limits, geographies, currencies, agent tiers, allow/deny lists. Revocable in one call, never an LLM guessing.
Know Your Agent: identity by public key, W3C DID and SPIFFE, no shared secrets. Who the agent is, separated from what it may do, cryptographically verified.
Fidacy does not custody funds or take a percentage of a transaction. It stays outside the rail and issues evidence the parties can independently check.
Start with a workflow that already has an accountable owner. Give it a narrow authority boundary, an integration point and proof that holds after the action.
