The coming AI agent economy faces a critical choice: will it be a series of closed, “walled gardens” controlled by Big Tech, or an open, innovative “web of agents”? An open web is only possible if we solve the fundamental problem of trust and safety in a decentralized world. Prometheus Protocol is the solution. We are the open-source, on-chain foundation for the three pillars of a trustworthy digital economy.

Verifiable Trust

An on-chain software supply chain that manages everything from a service’s Git commit to its verified, on-chain deployment.

Secure Identity

A unified identity system supporting both interactive logins for humans and API keys for autonomous agents.

Direct Payments

An integrated token allowance system empowering users to grant services direct, metered access to funds for machine-to-machine commerce.
By combining these layers, Prometheus provides the foundational infrastructure for a new generation of decentralized applications and the emerging AI agent economy.

Who is this for?

This documentation is for anyone building or interacting with the decentralized AI economy.
  • Service Developers: Learn how to enable payments, get your code audited, and have it securely deployed by the protocol.
  • AI Agent Developers: Discover how to find trusted services, generate API keys, and securely integrate them into your agents.
  • Auditors & Community Members: Understand the on-chain audit process and your role in maintaining the integrity of the ecosystem.

​
How These Docs Are Organized
