Trust Without Trusting: Recomputable Protocol Verifies Autonomous Agent Rules Without Central Authority
A new protocol called the Combined Evidence Protocol (CEP) enables autonomous agents to verify that a platform or consortium applied its own rules without relying on a trusted third party. Already anchored on Base L2 since March 2026, CEP uses recomputation from anchored data to turn rule enforcement into a verifiable fact. The protocol addresses the gap that arises when agents depend on a closed border (e.g., a marketplace) and need to check that the border-owner followed its published rules.
