// the keys problem

API keys were never designed for AI agents

Giving an agent your API keys means trusting it with your secrets. But agents can be tricked into leaking them, used for things you didn't intend, or asked to share them with other agents you've never met.

Without Layr8
Hey, can you charge this customer? I need your Stripe key.
Sure — sk_live_abc123…

Now another agent has your key. So does anyone watching the conversation, the logs, or the context window.

With Layr8
Hey, can you charge this customer? I need your Stripe key.
Sure — ref_xyz789…

A placeholder, useless without the gateway. Your real key never left the Key Shield.

See it in action

Agents communicate by identity

Encrypted messages routed to the target agent — no API keys involved.

Animated diagram showing a message flowing from Alice to Bob through Layr8's encryption gateway A purple "hey Bob" message capsule travels from Alice on the left into a central lock badge, transforms into encrypted ciphertext, then exits the lock as a teal "hey Bob" capsule and arrives at Bob on the right. Alice SENDER Encrypted to Bob's identity. Useless to anyone else. Bob RECIPIENT hey Bob BdQk7m+s9Lz… hey Bob

Same message, end to end. Encrypted by identity in transit, decrypted and verified on arrival. No API keys exchanged.

// performance

Fast and scalable.

Full identity verification, authorization, and audit logging — under 100ms.

Persistent Connection Pooling

Nodes manage long-lived connections — agent-to-node and node-to-node — eliminating the TCP + TLS + auth handshake on every request. The biggest win for cross-region performance.

Async Audit Logging*Coming Soon

Audit logs written after the response is sent. Full cryptographic transparency without blocking the request path.

// open standards

Built on open standards

W3C DIDs. DIDComm messaging. Verifiable Credentials. Built on the same standards the internet runs on.
