BlockBeats News, March 5th, the cryptocurrency and AI identity project Billions Network recently announced the launch of the Verified Agent Identity skill for OpenClaw (an open-source AI agent framework). This skill allows AI agents to obtain a real, verifiable identity, associate with a KYC-verified human subject through zero-knowledge proof (ZK proofs) technology, and achieve privacy-by-design protection. Agents can prove their affiliation, qualifications, or trustworthiness without disclosing the personal information of human users.
According to the Billions official blog, this move is aimed at addressing the current AI identity crisis: more than 51% of online and on-chain traffic comes from fake identities or irresponsible bots, and the dynamic nature of AI agents further exacerbates the problem of responsibility attribution (as described in the "Ship of Theseus" metaphor, agent components are constantly changing but need to be anchored in human responsibility). Existing key pairs or simple registries are inadequate to deal with such issues. This skill has been applied in the infrastructure of institutions such as HSBC, Sony Bank, Deutsche Bank, and the Spanish Red Cross. The Billions Network currently has over 2.3 million verified users and support for 9000+ projects.
At the same time, Billions has also launched the First AI Agent Rewards (FAIAR) program, where agents with the Verified Agent Identity skill installed will have priority eligibility. Rewards will be distributed in the form of BILL tokens to agent addresses, endorsed by verified humans to ensure traceability and accountability. This program aims to incentivize agents to build on-chain reputation and participate in the ecosystem.
