ChainThink News, March 5 — The cryptocurrency and AI identity project Billions Network recently announced the launch of Verified Agent Identity (VAI) skills for OpenClaw, an open-source AI agent framework. This skill allows AI agents to obtain a verified, traceable identity, linking them to KYC-verified human entities through zero-knowledge proof (ZK proofs) technology, ensuring default privacy protection. Agents can prove their affiliation, qualifications, or credibility without revealing personal information of human users.

According to Billions' official blog, this move aims to address the current AI identity crisis: over 51% of online and on-chain traffic originates from fake identities or irresponsible bots. The dynamic nature of AI agents further complicates accountability issues (similar to the "Ship of Theseus" analogy, where agent components change but human responsibility must remain anchored). Existing key pairs or simple registration methods are insufficient to handle such problems. The skill has been implemented in infrastructure of institutions like HSBC, Sony Bank, Deutsche Bank, and the Spanish Red Cross. Billions Network currently has over 2.3 million verified users and supports more than 9,000 projects.

Additionally, Billions has launched the First AI Agent Rewards (FAIAR) program. Agents with the Verified Agent Identity skill installed will be given priority for participation. Rewards will be distributed in BILL tokens to the agent addresses, endorsed by verified humans to ensure traceability and accountability. The program aims to incentivize agents to build on-chain reputation and participate in the ecosystem. $BTC ‌$CRYPTOBURG ‌
