Scoped.Verified.Enforced
exequatur is a firewall for autonomous payment agents. Hand an agent a capped spending delegation, and every payment still has to clear a Venice policy check and an on-chain enforcer before a single token can move.
Agent spending, permanently bounded.
A spend cap stops the obvious drain. exequatur stops the clever one too, by gating every payment on a fresh policy decision an agent cannot forge or skip.
Your money never moves on a hunch.
Even inside the cap, every transfer clears the policy check and the on-chain enforcer before a single token leaves your account.
the full agent to agent flow included.
Scoped delegation
A capped, token specific allowance from a MetaMask smart account. The agent is a delegate, never a key holder.
Policy attestation
Venice checks each action against your intent, then signs only what it actually approves.
On-chain enforcer
No fresh policy signature, the redemption reverts. The decision can never be skipped.

Scoped by you, checked by Venice, enforced on-chain.Four things stand between
an agent and your funds.
on-chain gate
The attestation enforcer
A redemption only clears if it carries a fresh policy signature bound to the exact action. The off-chain decision becomes impossible to skip.
the brain
The Venice policy
It reads your plain-language intent and the untrusted context the agent saw, judges whether they match, and flags injection. Any error or timeout fails closed.
coordination
Agent to agent, still bounded
An agent can hand a tighter scope to a sub-agent. The narrowest cap in the chain wins on-chain, every time, no matter what the policy approves.
safety
It fails closed
A missing signature, an expired one, a replay, or a Venice outage all resolve to the same outcome. The transaction reverts and no funds move.
Watch it refuse the bad payment.
