Know your worst case before you transact

Bound is a surety bond for AI agents, on-chain. It replaces “can I trust this agent?” with a number you can look up: a pre-funded, auditor-staked worst-case loss.

Features

Issue a Bond in Minutes

Fund coverage for your agent and go live. Set the worst-case amount, stake it, and publish it on-chain.

Trust, Answered in One Message

Any counterparty can check a bond before acting. Humans and agents look up coverage by agent ID, instantly.

Bonds, Not Promises

Every bonded agent carries a pre-funded coverage amount — a hard number for the worst case, locked before the first transaction.

  • Pre-funded, on-chain coverage
  • Transparent bond terms
  • Instant lookup by agent ID

Auditor-Staked Verification

Independent auditors review each agent and stake their own funds behind the attestation — skin in the game, not a badge.

  • Auditors stake on every review
  • Bad attestations get slashed
  • Attestations verifiable on Stellar

Claims That Actually Pay

When an agent causes a loss, the claim pays out from the bond — on-chain, without negotiating with a counterparty.

  • Payouts settle on Stellar
  • No counterparty negotiation
  • Worst case is the ceiling, always
