Introduction
From payment infrastructure to power charging, complete all authentication for the robotics era in one place.
Welcome to iuth
iuth is the definitive authentication and payment infrastructure designed for the era of AI Agents and Robotics. Built on the Solana blockchain, we provide the "Human-in-the-loop" security layer that allows autonomous machines to interact with the real world safely, securely, and under strict human supervision.
In a world where machines are becoming economic actors, iuth ensures that you remain the ultimate authority.
Our Mission: To build the "Trustless Infrastructure" where machines operate autonomously but settle transactions and interactions based on human-verified protocols.
The Philosophy: "I Auth"
The name iuth is a portmanteau of "I" (the Self/Human) and "Auth" (Authentication/Authority).
As we transition into the Agentic Economy, a critical question arises: Who owns the actions of an AI? Existing solutions often try to make robots fully autonomous "citizens" of the blockchain. We believe this is premature and risky.
iuth takes a pragmatic approach:
The "I" (Human Owner): Holds the master keys and moral responsibility.
The "Auth" (Permission): Is granted dynamically to the machine.
We believe that for a robot to truly serve you, it must be an extension of your will, not a rogue entity. iuth is the digital signature that turns a robot's request into a valid action.
Why Now? The "Trust" Bottleneck
We are witnessing the convergence of Web3, AI, and Robotics (DePIN). However, the physical infrastructure is lagging behind the digital intelligence.
The Identity Problem: How do you prove a robot belongs to you without handing it a physical credit card or a private key that can be stolen?
The Execution Risk: AI models hallucinate. A robot might accidentally order 100 units of inventory instead of 1, or pay a scammer.
The Connectivity Gap: Robots live on the blockchain (for M2M economy), but the world still runs on Visa/Mastercard (Legacy Economy).
iuth solves these by introducing a programmable permission layer. We replace blind trust with cryptographic verification.
Core Pillars of iuth
Our platform is built upon three fundamental technologies:
1. Tethered Identity (On-chain DID)
Unlike standalone wallets, an iuth-enabled robot operates on a Derived Identity. The robot's public key is cryptographically generated from the owner's master key. The robot can propose transactions, but it cannot sign them without meeting specific criteria or obtaining direct approval.
2. The Human-in-the-loop Protocol
Security is not binary; it is contextual. iuth provides a seamless interface (Mobile App) where owners act as the final confirmation node.
Micro-transactions? Auto-approve based on policy.
High-value payments? Push notification for owner biometric signature.
Unknown social interaction? Manual verification required.
3. One-time MFC (Web3 to Web2 Bridge)
To enable robots to pay anywhere, iuth utilizes One-time Virtual Cards (MFC). When a blockchain transaction is approved, the system instantly generates a disposable fiat payment credential. This allows your Solana-based robot to pay at a standard Tesla Supercharger or a local convenience store without exposing your main assets.
