Autonomous systems are expanding faster than our capacity to verify them—you see this tension every time an intelligent system handles actual capital or interacts with real users. The gap between adoption speed and verification capability creates genuine risk. That's where the concept of a trust layer becomes critical. Rather than adding another AI network to the mix, positioning verification and trust mechanisms as a foundational infrastructure layer addresses the core challenge. When autonomous agents touch financial transactions or user data, reliable verification isn't optional—it's essential for the entire ecosystem's credibility.
