Beltic develops FACT™, a federated, portable certification token that binds digital agents to verified human or business identities. This token establishes a necessary trust layer for interactions between agents and digital platforms, addressing the current lack of interoperable agent verification. By standardizing agent identity, Beltic reduces friction and enables secure automation across emerging protocols.

Problem
Digital platforms lack a standardized, interoperable mechanism to verify the identity of software agents acting on behalf of humans or businesses. This gap forces each platform to implement its own ad‑hoc checks, increasing integration friction, exposing systems to spoofed bots, and complicating risk management across the technology stack.
Solution
Beltic provides FACT™ (Federated Agent Certification Token), a portable cryptographic token that binds an agent to a verified human or corporate identity. FACT™ is issued by trusted identity providers and can be presented to any participating platform, enabling a universal trust layer without requiring custom integrations. The token’s design is minimal and protocol‑neutral, allowing it to be adopted across emerging standards such as AP2, ACP, and x402. By decoupling identity verification from individual services, FACT™ reduces onboarding overhead, streamlines secure automation, and mitigates the risk of anonymous or malicious agents. Platforms can validate agents in real time via a lightweight verification API, while agents retain the ability to operate across multiple ecosystems using the same credential.
Target Audience
The primary customers are platform operators, API providers, and enterprise automation teams that need to authenticate third‑party agents, as well as developers of decentralized protocols seeking a standardized identity layer for bot interactions.
Features
- Federated issuance model that allows multiple accredited identity providers to generate FACT™ tokens for agents
- Portable, signed JWT‑style token format that can be presented to any compliant platform without additional translation layers
- Cryptographic binding of the token to a verified human or business identifier, supporting KYC/AML compliance
- Protocol‑agnostic schema designed for seamless integration with standards such as AP2, ACP, and x402
- Lightweight verification endpoint (REST/HTTPS) that validates token signatures, expiration, and issuer trust in milliseconds
- Revocation list and short‑lived token support to limit exposure from compromised agents
- Open‑source SDKs for major programming languages to simplify token creation, storage, and presentation in agent workflows
