The agent economy is not a forecast. The money infrastructure already exists — two centuries after the law first let a registered fiction own, contract, and answer for itself.
Prove a human authorized a purchase. Not who the agent is.
Prove which operator sent a request. Not who answers for it.
Prove a developer passed review. Not that the agent has standing.
Prove the agent has a login — inside one tenant. Nothing beyond it.
Already in the record: a frontier-lab shop agent invented a payment account; a judge ruled on whether an agent may shop on Amazon; an airline argued its own chatbot was "a separate legal entity" — and lost, because no such entity existed (Moffatt, 2024).
Registration confers standing. Direct AI personhood is politically dead — states are banning it — which forecloses every route except the entity-with-human-anchors route. That's our lane, and the bans are our moat.
Identity, owner chain, compliance model, treasury mandate — one call. Disclosure ships as a property of registration: EU AI Act Article 50, enforceable August 2, 2026, emitted natively and machine-readably. The industry is already asking:
"Banks now need to know your agent."
Every agent should have "at least one accountable human or legal entity."
Agents are "synthetic employees" needing clear accountability chains.
Honesty note we keep in the deck: Gartner also predicts >40% of agentic-AI projects canceled by end-2027 — a shakeout in which verified, accountable agents are what survives.
Every registered agent makes the next standing check more valuable. The registry that exists when the mandate lands, wins it.
