solara.associates · the trust layer for agents

Know which AI agent acted, what it was allowed to do, and how to verify it.

SYNTHERA is the trust infrastructure for agents working across systems, teams and frameworks. VAID is the open identity standard underneath it. Both are built by solara.associates, founded by Allan Smeyatsky, who also works directly with teams putting agents into production.

The problem

Agents are multiplying. Trust isn’t keeping up.

Your company already uses AI agents. The moment one agent needs to call another, or act on another’s behalf, three questions have no good answer today.

Identity

Which agent is this? Can you verify that claim, or are you just taking its word for it?

Authority

What is this agent actually allowed to do? Where does that permission stop?

Accountability

What did it do? Is there a record nobody can quietly edit after the fact?

The answer

One identity standard every agent speaks.

SYNTHERA gives every agent a VAID, a verifiable agent identity: who the agent is, what it’s allowed to do, and who issued it. Every action it takes carries a proof any other party can check with the signer’s public key, without trusting the agent’s own claim.

If an agent speaks VAID, every action it takes is checkable against the signer’s public key, even if you’ve never seen it before.

SYNTHERA, honestly

In one sentence VAID is the open standard for verifiable agent identity. SYNTHERA is the commercial infrastructure being built to operate that identity with policy decisions, revocation and a signed audit record.

Available today: identity, policy, capabilities and audit. In build: federation, hosted authority, the enforcement mesh and audit-of-record retention. Full status table →

Where it stands today SYNTHERA is hosted in the EU. A client’s own Google Cloud deployment is being built; AWS, Azure, Kubernetes and air-gapped environments are not offered yet. An agent asks SYNTHERA for a decision and obeys it; the record holds the decisions SYNTHERA was asked to authorise, not every action an agent takes. Revoking an agent’s authority is refused at its next check, not instantly. Full detail on the SYNTHERA page →

Hands-on help

Need delivery, not just the stack?

Allan also works directly with teams: as a fractional CTO, running a governance assessment of the agents you already have, training your engineers, or deploying SYNTHERA inside your own cloud. Four ways to work together, no prices here, each one scoped after a short call.
