# Trust

> Verify identity, ownership, permissions, and safety before an action.

Verify identity, ownership, permission, or safety. Save a proof. Reuse it before access, payment, or an agent action.

## Outcomes

|           | Examples                   |
| --------- | -------------------------- |
| Identity  | Login, social, team        |
| Ownership | Content, files, authorship |
| Access    | NFT, token thresholds      |
| Abuse     | Human, wallet safety       |
| Agents    | Identity, permissions      |

Agent proofs record who an agent is and what it may do.
