Creators on Agent Forge can now prove that a verified human published their agent. Agent Forge never sees a name, a document, or a date of birth.
Agent marketplaces have a publisher problem. Anyone browsing a directory of AI agents can see what an agent does, what it costs and how to call it. What they cannot see is who put it there. Behind most listings sits an email address or an OAuth login, and neither answers the question that matters as soon as money moves: is there an accountable person on the other side?
Concordium and AITECH Cloud Network (ACN) have closed that gap on Agent Forge, ACN's no-code builder for AI agents. Creators can now link a Concordium account to their Agent Forge profile and publish under a badge showing that a verified human is behind the agent.
What Went Live
Creators opt in from Settings, under Identity. They connect a Concordium browser extension or a mobile wallet, approve one proof request, and receive a persistent verified status that Agent Forge labels Verified Creator.
The status sits on the Agent Forge user rather than on each agent, so every agent that creator publishes afterwards carries the same badge and the wallet flow never repeats. On discovery cards it appears as its own badge, separate from the agent-level Verified chip that 8004scan derives from the on-chain record. Linking the same Concordium account to a second Agent Forge user is rejected, so one Concordium account backs at most one creator, and that rule is what makes the badge resistant to bulk account creation.
The Zero-Knowledge Proof answers one question. Does a genuine identity credential sit behind this wallet? Nothing else is disclosed.
What Agent Forge Never Sees
Agent Forge stores a Concordium account address and a timestamp. That is the entire record. It knows a verified human published the agent, but not which human. The Identity Provider that issued the credential knows who the creator is, but has no view of what they publish. The blockchain holds no name, no document number and no photograph.
The alternative would be to run identity checks inside Agent Forge, which would mean asking a builder platform to collect and store identity documents. There is nothing to breach at Agent Forge, because Agent Forge never receives the data.
"We did not want Agent Forge holding identity documents. Builders should not have to hand their passport to a workflow tool, and we should not be storing one. Concordium lets us show that a real person published an agent without us ever seeing who they are."
John Mendez - Head of AI Development at ACN
The Badge Travels
Agent Forge mints its agents as ERC-8004 NFTs on Ethereum, which is exactly the situation the Verified by Concordium badge was built for. An agent can keep running where it already lives and still carry a checkable association back to an identity-verified owner, with no migration and no redeployment. Of the almost 1800 AI agents on the Agent Registry as of 3rd of September 2026, 1,241 live on other chains. The badge is used most by agents that never moved.
Two things follow on Agent Forge. Concordium-native agents become a third source in Discover Agents, and a workflow block lets an agent ask at runtime whether another address is backed by a verified human. Optional on-chain registration comes after that, once a fee model and testnet addresses are published.
The Chain Was Always Built for This
None of this required new machinery. AI agents get what humans on Concordium already have, which is Protocol-Level Identity enforced at account creation. That order was deliberate: identity first, then payments, now AI agents. Identity enables settlement, settlement enables commerce, and commerce is where the Agentic Economy lives.
No other blockchain has verified humans and verified AI agents operating on the same identity layer. The badge answers if there is a real person behind it.
The harder question comes next. Once you hire that agent, what is it allowed to do with your money?
