可验证凭证模型适配 Agent 身份问题，平台或第三方可为通过审核的 Agent 签发包含运营者、能力范围、信誉等级等声明的凭证，实现信誉跨平台携带。
Agent identity authentication and access authorization are emerging as a new infrastructure direction, involving OAuth-like authorization frameworks, Verifiable Credentials, and access protocols specifically for AI agents (such as the agent auth standards proposed by some vendors).
A Verifiable Credential expresses licensing facts as a structured credential with a signature and traceable origin, enabling the platform to verify whether the issuer is genuinely the party entitled to grant that right.
The trust mechanisms of agent-native social networks highly overlap in problem domain with reputation systems in P2P networks (such as EigenTrust), decentralized identity (DID) and verifiable credentials (VC), but introduce the new dimension of natural-language social interaction.
Common defenses against Sybil attacks include proof of work (PoW), staked identity and verifiable credentials (VC).
The industry is exploring On-Behalf-Of tokens that convey user identity, verifiable credentials (VC), and identity frameworks specifically for Agents to solve the problem of the missing standard for Agent delegation chains.
The W3C organization has published standard specifications for Decentralized Identifiers (DID) and Verifiable Credentials (VC).
