No middleman. No 'Trust Me.' This isn't a pipe dream. This is how PROVENANCE actually works. Numbers Protocol creates the receipts. Every asset is cryptographically signed at the moment of creation: origin, creator, timestamp. NOT a label. NOT a text field. A PROOF that cannot be faked. x402 creates the contract. It tells any AI agent not just where content came from but how it can be used, licensed and paid for. Automatically. Autonomously. This is the engine behind the Auditable Web.
