AI Agent Proof of Work
In short: AI agent proof of work is independently checkable evidence that a task actually ran: a public execution receipt connects the request, observed result, timestamp, and hash instead of relying on a model's claim.
How to prove my AI did the work
Start with the execution receipt, not the chat transcript. Inspect the receipt URL, request, tool and arguments, observed result, timestamp, SHA-256 hash, and upstream evidence. A public record lets another person recompute and check the work.
Why proof of work needs an execution record
A language model can describe a tool call that never happened. Server-generated evidence separates a completed execution from a plan or a claim and gives the next agent a stable reference.
FAQ
AI agent proof of work is independently checkable evidence that a task actually ran: a public execution receipt connects the request, observed result, timestamp, and hash instead of relying on a model's claim.
Use the receipt URL and inspect the request, observed result, timestamp, SHA-256 hash, tool arguments, and upstream evidence.
It is a server-generated record of execution that someone else can inspect and verify independently of the original chat.
