Drivers for change
With Empeiria, agents can operate under their own identities while you remain in control.
A trading co‑pilot may place orders but must never move cash.
1. Grant
Alice issues a credential: `{ "action": "buy_btc", "limit": "10 000 EUR/day", "expires": "2025‑06‑04" }` via the Empeiria dashboard.
2. Act
The agent attaches this credential to each trade request.
3. Verify
The exchange validates the signature and policy in under 100 ms.
4. Revoke
Alice revokes the credential; further trades are blocked instantly.
Fine‑grained control and a tamper‑proof audit trail.
Sub‑delegation for Micro‑Agents
A primary agent can issue a narrower credential to a helper agent, limiting it to a single function while shielding other resources.
Verifiable Interaction Receipt
Agents can seal each task or conversation with a signed hash, creating an immutable receipt without exposing the full content.
Proof of Reputation
A portable credential summarises an agent’s past task volume, success rate, or verified reviews, enabling instant trust on new platforms.
IoT / Edge Authentication
Physical devices identify themselves with a DID and present a scoped credential before triggering automated workflows.
- • Reduced Risk ExposureFine‑grained credentials cap damage from faulty or compromised agents.
- • Agent‑as‑a‑ServiceUsage‑metered credentials enable pay‑per‑task or tiered billing models.
- • Partner Ecosystem GrowthExternal agents integrate safely, expanding your platform without exposing core systems.
- • Lower OverheadAutomated verification replaces manual reviews and custom integrations.
- • DevelopersDrop‑in REST and SDKs for Node, Python, Go; reach a verified request in under 30 minutes.
- • Security & ComplianceCryptographic audit trail plus one‑click revocation, aligned with AI Act and sector regulations.
- • ArchitectureRuns alongside existing OAuth keys; no rip‑and‑replace migration.
1. Create an agent wallet in the dashboard to obtain its DID.
2. Issue a Delegation Credential with limits and expiry.
3. Use the sample API to observe live verification.
How is this better than OAuth? | OAuth tokens grant broad access. Empeiria credentials are signed, scoped, and portable across ecosystems—and they can run alongside your current OAuth flow, letting you migrate permissions incrementally. |
What happens if an agent misbehaves? | Revoke its credential; subsequent requests are blocked within seconds. |
Do I need to understand cryptography? | No. The SDK exposes intuitive JSON APIs; cryptographic operations are handled internally. |
Can I integrate with my existing stack? | Yes. Our REST API exposes the full feature set. Use the Node.js SDK or call the endpoints from any language. Agents can also connect via our MCP servers, and frameworks like LangChain integrate out‑of‑the‑box. |
How fast is revocation? | Typically under one second, anchored on the Empe Blockchain. |
