Trust is the missing layer
in the agent stack.

Discovery, orchestration, and execution are already accelerating. ContractPlane exists to make those systems provable, enforceable, and reviewable.

Why now

Three waves of pressure.

2025Identity before scale

Enterprises are deploying agents without durable identity, scoped authorization, or trustworthy evidence. ContractPlane starts by binding agents to policy and provenance before those systems sprawl.

2026Cross-organization trust becomes mandatory

Once A2A and federated discovery are normal, enterprises need proof that the agent on the other side is real, authorized, and still within policy.

2027Evidence stops being optional

Regulators and counterparties will ask what an agent was allowed to do at the exact time of a decision. Log files are not enough. Signed evidence is.

Trust surfaces

What the authority plane does.

DID-backed identity and release binding

ContractPlane treats this as a first-class governance surface instead of an afterthought bolted onto runtime behavior.

Cedar policy gates before deployment

ContractPlane treats this as a first-class governance surface instead of an afterthought bolted onto runtime behavior.

Immutable evidence records for approvals and promotions

ContractPlane treats this as a first-class governance surface instead of an afterthought bolted onto runtime behavior.

Federated trust alignment across OSSA and DUADP

ContractPlane treats this as a first-class governance surface instead of an afterthought bolted onto runtime behavior.
