Robots have entered the chat. As machines move into the physical world, they need a way to establish trust with humans. peaq is making World ID's proof of human available to autonomous systems. The first use case, safe medication delivery from a pharmacy to a patient.

"The future of the internet may depend on proving you are human, without revealing who you are" – HackerNoon As AI becomes part of everyday life, World ID helps keep the internet more human. https://lnkd.in/eYNm3kZD

"An agent's work must ultimately tie to a real, identified entity." – Jeremy Allaire World provides a new trust layer for the agentic web with AgentKit. Builders now have the ability to delegate proof of human to an agent. https://lnkd.in/eypNw938
Today I'm sharing something I've been building toward for years: The Agentic Economy, a treatise on the convergence of intelligence and the economy. As AI agents take on the work of the firm and value moves natively on open, programmable networks, the agentic economy and the onchain economy turn out to be the same economy, seen from two sides. It's a personal work. Enter at whatever depth you like: a 60-second thesis, a short read, the full treatise, an audiobook, or visual maps. https://lnkd.in/eG2p-ujF

The question is no longer whether agents will act online. The question is: who are they acting for? As businesses begin opening services to autonomous agents, we need a way to distinguish between: • an agent representing a real person • an agent operating as part of a bot farm That's why we built AgentKit. AgentKit allows people to delegate a verified World ID to an AI agent, giving websites and merchants confidence that the agent is acting on behalf of a unique human. Recently, we tested this with a limited-edition drop of 500 "Human in the Loop" hats. Agents discovered the product, verified eligibility, and completed purchases on users' behalf. The result: → 500 hats claimed by verified individuals across multiple countries → One claim per person → No advantage from spinning up additional agents
