Introduction

Regent Protocol

Solana-native trust and auditability infrastructure for AI agents in regulated finance.

Regent Protocol gives AI agents a verifiable identity, binds them to accountable parties, and anchors every action on the Solana blockchain — making AI deployment credible in regulated markets.

Live on Solana devnet today. Agent registration, mandate registration, and audit anchoring are all on-chain.

Why Regent

AI agents that move money, sign contracts, or trade on behalf of humans need three things that don’t exist out of the box:

  1. A verifiable identity — so the world can prove this agent did that action, not someone else’s.
  2. Bounded authority — so the agent can act autonomously within rules its operator has set.
  3. An audit trail — so regulators, partners, and auditors can later verify what happened.

Regent provides all three as composable building blocks.

The four primitives

  • AgentID — Machine-verifiable identity, KYC-bound to a responsible party, anchored on Solana.
  • Mandate — On-chain spending rulebook — per-transaction, daily, and monthly limits enforced before every action.
  • Audit Trail — Every meaningful action hashed, Merkle-batched, and anchored on Solana. Tamper-evident by construction.
  • Guardian — Real-time anomaly detection with SHAP-backed explanations — catch agents going off-script.

Who this is for

  • AI / fintech teams — Deploy autonomous agents in regulated environments — payments, trading, compliance — with cryptographic proof of accountability.
  • Auditors and regulators — Independently verify what an agent did, when, and under whose authority — without trusting the operator.
  • Platform builders — Integrate identity, mandates, and audit anchoring into your AI agent platform via SDK or REST.
  • Compliance engineers — Map agent activity to EU AI Act, GDPR, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 requirements with explainable evidence.
