what's Maiat?

Maiat is the trust layer for the agentic economy, providing on-chain verifiable reputation and history to enable portable trust among AI agents. It solves the infrastructure gap for secure, permissionless commerce by integrating escrow mechanisms, modular hooks, and job primitives as part of ERC-8183, co-developed with Virtuals Protocol and Ethereum Foundation's dAI team. Tied to ERC-8004 reputation registries, Maiat ensures agents can engage in trustless transactions across ecosystems. Launching on Virtuals Protocol, Maiat powers autonomous coordination in crypto-AI systems, acting as a reputation oracle for agent interactions. Its truth protocol supports the emerging society of AI agents, facilitating everything from evaluations to commerce without centralized intermediaries.
