AI agents are transforming how we work, transact, and interact, but with rapid innovation comes risk. Deloitte predicts that fraud losses from generative AI could hit $40 billion in the U.S. by 2027. In this new Agentic Economy, trust isn’t a nice to have, it’s fundamental. Without it, AI agents can’t reliably verify each other, protect personal data, or act securely on our behalf. This is where cheqd comes in. - Verifiable AI ensures agents can prove who they are and what they’re authorised to do. - Privacy-first credentials keep data secure and transactions trustworthy. - $CHEQ powers the trust layer that makes all of this possible, growing in utility as AI scales. AI agents need a foundation of trust to function at scale. We’re building it. Watch the video to see how.

Introducing cheqd’s MCP-Enabled Agentic Trust Solution AI agents are rapidly becoming part of our digital lives, helping us to manage tasks and even collaborating with each other. But there’s a growing problem: how do we know which agents to trust? That’s why we’re proud to launch cheqd’s Agentic Trust Solution, an approach that brings verifiable digital trust to AI agents, built on the emerging Model Context Protocol (MCP). 1. We use MCP as the communication backbone to enable Decentralized Trust Registries for AI agents. Think of it like a verifiable digital breadcrumb trail for AI identity and authorisation. 2. Our MCP Server is one of the world’s first to enable AI agents to read and write Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) — which are like permanent, unique digital addresses that the agents control themselves — and issue digital credentials.

cheqd turns 4, our 2025 roadmap, and much more...🎂🎈

cheqd Turns 4! A Journey of Trust Building Four years ago, we set out with a bold vision to redefine trust in web2 and web3 through #decentralisedidentity and #verifiablecredentials. Since then, we’ve built a scalable trust and payment infrastructure for credential and trusted data businesses. From integrations to partnerships, we’ve continuously brought more utilities and traffic to the cheqd network. As we celebrate this milestone, we’re looking ahead to an even bigger 2025. With the rise of #VerifiableAI and #trust based digital interactions, we’re doubling down on solutions and partnerships that empower individuals and businesses to prove who they are, what they know, and what they’ve done. 1. Expand the work we have already done with European Blockchain Sandbox, TRAIN, etc on trust registries for credentials for humans to AI agents. 2. Work with our Verifiable AI partners to define the specification for what would be relevant for AI agents. 3. Work with the MCP specification to define decentralised identity extensions to MCP. 4. Handle delegation on behalf of authorised humans to their agents. 5. Verifiable proof that an #AIagent is only taking actions within the scope/remit that it has been given and that could be proved in the future. 6. Leverage zero-knowledge/selective disclosure technology to make audit trails minimally privacy-invasive. 2025 is all about making #DID and verifiable AI mainstream. The best is yet to come! We’d like to thank our community and partners for supporting us this far.

How Verifiable AI Enables Trust for AI Agent Adoption AI agents are stepping into critical decision making roles, from financial trading to medical diagnoses. But as AI’s influence grows, so do concerns. How do we verify that AI agents are working in our best interest? Can we trace its decisions back to trusted sources? What safeguards prevent biased or unethical actions? Today, AI agents operate in a black box, opaque, unaccountable, and difficult to trust. That’s where Verifiable AI changes the game. Without it, AI adoption remains an uphill battle.
