“Most large corporates can already move money in real time. What they still need is confidence—a system that provides trust, auditability, and control.”

FAQs
Inherence is proof-of-conduct infrastructure for AI agents. You write a policy. We compile it into an inline enforcer and a proof system. The enforcer blocks off-mandate actions before they execute. The proof system issues a 128-byte receipt for every action, verifiable by anyone in about a millisecond.
A log is a record written by the operator. Reading one means trusting whoever wrote it. A receipt is a cryptographic object. Anyone can verify it independently, including counterparties with no reason to trust either side.
Amounts, thresholds, behavior rules, and strategies all stay hidden. Proofs are zero-knowledge. The only thing a verifier learns is that the policy held.
Decisions run inline at 27 to 250 nanoseconds. Proving runs off the hot path. Verification takes about a millisecond.
You do not need to. Every compilation ships with a machine-checked soundness certificate showing the compiled system matches the policy as written.
