Cryptographic Identity
Every agent has a unique, auditable identity. You know who (or what) authorized each action.
AI Trust Layer
BRAVA Agents
Autonomous agents you can stake your reputation on. Cryptographic identity, constrained behavior, and transparent decision-making for enterprise operations.
_§ 01 Thesis
Why AI Needs a Trust Layer
The problem with AI agents today isn't capability. It's trust.
You can't hand a procurement agent a budget and hope it doesn't hallucinate a vendor. You can't let a customer service bot make refund decisions without oversight. You can't deploy autonomous trading algorithms without knowing why they made each decision.
BRAVA Agents solves this with three principles:
02 / 03
Constrained Execution
Agents operate within predefined boundaries. They can't exceed spending limits, access unauthorized data, or violate policies.
03 / 03
Transparent Decision Logs
Every decision is recorded with reasoning. No black box. You can audit and explain every action.
Not AI hype. This is production-grade infrastructure for autonomous operations you can explain to regulators, auditors, and customers.
_§ 02 Capabilities
What BRAVA Agents Do
01
Identity & Authorization
Cryptographic Identity
- Each agent has a unique DID (Decentralized Identifier)
- Public/private key pairs for signing actions
- Verifiable credential system
Role-Based Access
- Agents inherit permissions based on role
- Fine-grained access control (read, write, execute)
- Time-limited delegations
02
Constrained Behavior
Policy Enforcement
- Spending limits (per transaction, per day, per month)
- Data access boundaries (only see what they need)
- Action constraints (can't delete, only create/update)
Human-in-the-Loop
- High-stakes decisions require human approval
- Escalation rules (if cost > €10K, flag for review)
- Override mechanisms
03
Transparency & Audit
Decision Logging
- Every action recorded on blockchain
- Reasoning captured (why did the agent do this?)
- Immutable audit trail
Explainability
- Plain-English summaries of agent decisions
- Drill-down to underlying data and logic
- Export logs for compliance reporting
_§ 03 Deployments
Where We Deploy Agents
Treasury Operations
Monitor cash positions, rebalance liquidity across wallets
Agent Capabilities
- Check wallet balances every hour
- If hot wallet < €50K, transfer from cold wallet
- If gas prices < 20 gwei, execute queued transactions
Safety: Spending limits, multi-sig for large transfers, all actions logged
Procurement & Vendor Management
Autonomously purchase recurring supplies (cloud credits, software licenses)
Agent Capabilities
- Monitor usage, predict needs
- Compare vendors for best price
- Execute purchase if < €5K, flag for approval if higher
Safety: Whitelist of approved vendors, spending caps, escalation rules
Compliance Monitoring
Continuously scan transactions for regulatory red flags
Agent Capabilities
- Cross-reference addresses against sanctions lists
- Flag unusual transaction patterns (structuring, rapid movement)
- Generate compliance reports automatically
Safety: Read-only access, no ability to block transactions (only alert)
Customer Support
Handle routine customer queries, escalate complex cases
Agent Capabilities
- Answer FAQs, retrieve account data
- Process simple requests (password reset, balance inquiry)
- Escalate to human for refunds, disputes, complaints
Safety: Can't issue refunds > €100, can't access PII beyond account ID
_§ 04 Layers
Agent Architecture
BRAVA Agents don't replace human judgment. They extend it. Agents handle routine, high-volume operations within strict boundaries. Humans focus on high-stakes decisions and strategy. Every agent action is cryptographically signed and recorded on-chain, so you always know what happened, who authorized it, and why.

_§ 05 Identity
Every Agent Is Accountable
Traditional software runs under a shared account (e.g., "admin" or "system"). When something goes wrong, it's hard to trace who (or what) was responsible.
BRAVA Agents use Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs). Each agent has a unique, cryptographic identity. Every action the agent takes is signed with its private key. The signature proves:
01
Who did it
The agent's DID
02
What they did
The action taken
03
When they did it
Timestamp
04
Why they did it
Reasoning recorded in metadata
This creates an immutable audit trail. Even if the agent is decommissioned, the historical record remains. Regulators, auditors, and internal compliance teams can verify every decision.
Agents can also receive verifiable credentials:
- "This agent is authorized to approve purchases up to €10K"
- "This agent has read-only access to customer data"
- "This agent can execute trades on behalf of Entity X"
Credentials are cryptographically verifiable. No central authority needed.
_§ 06 Safety
Agents That Can't Go Rogue
The risk with autonomous systems is unbounded behavior. An agent that was supposed to optimize ad spend ends up draining the company account. BRAVA Agents are constrained by design.
01 / 04
Spending Limits
- Per-transaction cap (e.g., max €5K per purchase)
- Daily/monthly budgets (e.g., €50K/month total)
- Category limits (e.g., max €10K for cloud services)
02 / 04
Data Access
- Read-only for most operations
- No access to sensitive PII unless explicitly required
- Role-based permissions (principle of least privilege)
03 / 04
Action Constraints
- Can create/update records, but not delete
- Can't modify system configuration
- Can't grant permissions to other agents
04 / 04
Human Escalation
- High-stakes decisions require human approval
- If confidence < 80%, escalate
- If cost exceeds limit, flag for review
Example: Procurement Agent
- If cost < €5K → execute automatically
- If €5K–€20K → flag for manager approval
- If > €20K → escalate to CFO
All constraints are configurable. You define the rules. Agents enforce them.
_§ 07 FAQ
Common Questions
01 Can agents make mistakes?
Yes, but they're auditable mistakes. Every decision is logged with reasoning. If an agent made a bad call, you can see why it thought that was the right decision, adjust the policy, and prevent it from happening again.
02 What if an agent is compromised?
Agents are constrained. Even if compromised, they can't exceed spending limits, access unauthorized data, or take actions outside their defined role. All actions are signed with the agent's private key, so a compromised agent's behavior would be immediately visible in the audit log.
03 Do I need blockchain for this?
Not strictly, but blockchain provides immutable logging and cryptographic proof of agent actions. Traditional databases can be edited or deleted. Blockchain records are permanent and tamper-evident, which is critical for compliance and trust.
04 How long does deployment take?
Simple agents (monitoring, alerting) can be deployed in 2–3 weeks. Complex agents (procurement, trading) require more policy design and testing, typically 6–8 weeks.
05 What are the costs?
Agent deployment starts at €20K (simple use case, single agent). Complex agent networks with custom policies range €50K–€200K. Ongoing operational costs depend on transaction volume and blockchain usage.
