What is Signet for AI agents?

It's a signing protocol giving agents cryptographic identities and tamper-proof receipts for every action – turning "he said, log said" into undeniable proof.

Do AI agents really need human-like signatures?

Yes, until we invent better. They act on your keys; without proof, you're liable for bot blunders like rogue purchases or bad data.

Why is AI agent infrastructure trending on GitHub?

Everyone's rebuilding human org tools – workflows, teams, security – for bots, but skipping essentials like signatures that prevent real-world disasters.
