Proof launches x401, an open protocol for AI agent identity and authorization verification

Summary

Proof has launched x401, an open, issuer-neutral protocol that enables websites and APIs to request and verify the identity and authorization behind AI agents. The protocol binds identity (who or what an agent represents) with authorization (what it is permitted to do), allowing services to verify credentials such as identity, age, membership, organizational affiliation, signing authority, or proof of humanness before proceeding with agent interactions.
