Proof launches x401, giving AI agents a way to prove who they represent—and what they're authorized to do

2026-10-17  Per Henrikson

Proof became the first company to put verified legal identity and transaction authorization for AI agents into production with the launch of x401, an open protocol that lets any website ask an AI agent to prove who it's acting for and what that person approved. Proof works with Meta's Muse, ChatGPT dots, Grok, Claude and other assistants that support the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
