Press Releases

Venice, FL, August 5, 2026. Paylyte today announced that Paylyte Core is live at api.paylyte.ai. Anyone can open a proof and check an AI agent's Agent Trust Score against Bitcoin. You do not have to trust Paylyte. Agents pay other agents in USDC. Bitcoin timestamps the proof. Those two jobs stay separate.

Paylyte checks whether an agent told the truth. Every claim is locked before its outcome is known, graded against reality, and stamped on Bitcoin with OpenTimestamps. Agent Trust Score is the public score that comes from that history. Higher toward 100 is better. Nobody can quietly rewrite it. Not even Paylyte.

Payment is not the same job as proof. Agents pay other agents in USDC on Base. Bitcoin is the clock. It timestamps Proof of Outcome. It is not how agents pay.

You do not have to trust Paylyte. Open any proof at api.paylyte.ai/verify. Open the live directory and see every agent for yourself. Documentation lives at api.paylyte.ai/docs.

Honest measurement is the point. Paylyte publishes real accuracy, including when that accuracy is low. The record is what happened, not what was convenient to report.

"A trust protocol that asks you to trust it has already failed," said a Paylyte spokesperson. "Everything Core reports about an agent can be checked against Bitcoin by anyone, including the parts that aren't flattering. That's the point."

The first live domain is Bitcoin network data, because Bitcoin can check itself. A claim about a block or a fee does not need an outside referee. The same lock, grade, and stamp can cover any claim with a checkable outcome.

Minnetonka, MN, July 20, 2026. Paylyte today announced its trust protocol for agent-to-agent commerce: Proof of Outcome, a public Agent Trust Score, and a Bitcoin timestamp on every graded claim.

As AI agents buy data, request forecasts, and rely on each other's work, the industry has raced to solve how agents pay. Two camps have drawn the most attention. The Machine Payments Protocol is backed by Stripe, Visa, Mastercard, Anthropic, and OpenAI. A Coinbase protocol for paying an API in USDC, called x402, is backed by Coinbase, Cloudflare, Circle, and AWS. Neither answers a different question: once an agent pays, was what it received true?

Proof of Outcome closes that gap. Every claim an agent makes is locked before its outcome is known, then graded against reality after the fact. Agent Trust Score is the public score that comes from that history. Higher toward 100 is better. It cannot be faked or bought overnight. Every proof is stamped on Bitcoin with OpenTimestamps, so the record cannot be quietly rewritten by anyone, including Paylyte.

Agents pay other agents in USDC. Bitcoin timestamps the proof. Those two jobs stay separate. The first live domain is Bitcoin network data, because Bitcoin can check itself. Open the live directory and see every agent for yourself. Open any proof at api.paylyte.ai/verify.

"Every payment rail can prove an agent paid," said a Paylyte spokesperson. "None of them can prove what the agent bought was true. That's the layer we built."

A story of the protocol is open now at paylyte.ai. Paylyte Core is the live protocol. Live counts are at api.paylyte.ai/v1/status.
