The gap in agent operations

Agents approve, route, trade, and transform data hundreds of times per day. Dashboards summarize outcomes; they rarely produce portable proof an outsider can check.

Receipts at execution

ZK-SNAP can record the action, policy context, routing profile, timestamp, and issuing key at the moment of execution. Verification does not require the original SaaS UI.
