Description

AI agents can move money, deploy code and call APIs. But logs only tell you what they claim happened afterward. Prove Before Act adds verifiable evidence before execution. The agent commits its declared WHY, anchors a cryptographic proof, acts, then records WHAT happened. The result is an independently verifiable sequence without exposing private data. Open standard. MCP, REST and Python/JS SDKs. 10 proofs free, then $0.01/proof. xProof is the reference implementation.

Could you build this?

Partial Wrapping API calls with a before/after logging layer is easy, but implementing non-repudiable cryptographic anchoring, decentralized proofs, or verifiable execution requires deep cryptography and distributed ledger integration.

What it would actually take: Requires a secure middleware proxy intercepting agent tool calls, using cryptographic primitives (merkle trees, digital signatures) and anchoring proofs to a public ledger or immutable log (like RFC 6962 Certificate Transparency style logs). The difficulty lies in ensuring zero-overhead verification, tamper-proof state commitment, and formal execution guarantees before tool invocation.
