**Agent Reputation, Risk, and Trust in the Next Digital Economy**
In a programmable, agent-first economy, trust demands verification. AI agents will accrue reputation through transaction history, quality of service, and on-chain endorsements. Just as platforms define reputation for human participants, programmable protocols can assign, score, and measure trust for autonomous agents - reducing risk for all ecosystem participants.
**Key Takeaways:**
- Agent reputation will be measurable, portable, and cryptographically secured.
- On-chain review and rating systems allow for decentralised trust.
- Risk scoring and provenance auditing become core agent functions.
**Why It Matters:**
Without reliable trust signals, agents - like humans - cannot participate in open economic networks at scale. Reputation systems expand sovereignty from individuals to AI actors.
**Verification & Research:**
- Examine open reputation protocols, Sybil-resistance, and proven-agent identity on-chain.
- Work cross-referenced by projects like BrightID, Proof of Humanity, and Web3 reputation standards.
**Related Concepts:** Agent identity, risk, verification, provenance.
