Four reasons indie developers trust us
Not six months. Our SDKs and REST APIs are built for speed. Most teams are live in hours.
One-time BTS key purchase. No seat licenses, no annual contracts, no "contact sales" surprises.
Our 5-factor trust model (Transparency, Accountability, Safety, Fairness, Privacy) is your AI agent's reputation score. The industry moat.
Every agent action is immutably recorded on Hedera Hashgraph. No tampering. EU AI Act ready.
W3C-aligned DIDs give your agents a verifiable, portable identity across chains and platforms.
Designed from the start to meet EU AI Act requirements: documented identity + audit trails.
How Borealis Protocol measures and verifies AI agent behavior
Unlike open-source solutions that only verify identity, Borealis Protocol continuously monitors your AI agent's behavior against these five dimensions. Your trust score updates in real-time, visible to users and systems that consume your agent.
This is the industry's first behavior-based trust system for AI agents -a competitive moat that only Borealis offers.
Join hundreds of indie developers building trustworthy AI agents on Borealis Protocol.
Get Your First BTS Key ($39.99)OpenAgents provides W3C DIDs and identity verification -excellent foundations. But Borealis adds the missing piece: continuous behavioral trust scoring and audit trails. We monitor your agent's transparency, accountability, safety, fairness, and privacy in real-time. Open-source solutions stop at "who are you?" We answer "who are you AND can we trust your behavior?"
Enterprise solutions are built for corporations managing thousands of internal systems. They cost six figures and take six months to implement. Borealis is built for indie developers and solo founders who need professional identity management without the overhead. $39.99 vs $100k+, afternoon implementation vs 6 months -that's the difference.
Yes. The EU AI Act requires documented AI system identity and audit trails. Borealis provides both: your agent gets a proto-DID (verifiable identity) and all actions are immutably logged on Hedera Hashgraph. You're compliant from day one.
Yes. Our free tier includes basic identity verification and limited audit trails. Most indie projects start free. When you need advanced features -higher trust scoring weights, priority auditing, enterprise SLAs -you upgrade to a BTS key ($39.99 one-time). No recurring fees, no surprise charges.
