See enterprise solutionsEverything you need for decentralized identity
Four pillars that work together. Use what you need, when you need it.
Decentralized Identity
Create and manage DIDs that your organization controls—no central authority required.
Secure Messaging
End-to-end encrypted, async-native communication between any two parties.
Verifiable Credentials
Issue, hold, and verify tamper-proof credentials that travel with users.
Agent Infrastructure
The missing identity layer for AI agents that need to communicate across organizations.
Be the doorman, not the locksmith
Layr8 sits between your users (or agents) and your systems. Instead of copying keys to everyone, you answer the door and decide who gets in.
User or Agent
Has a DID
Layr8
Verifies identity
Your APIs
Access granted
// Copying keys everywhere const contractor1Key = "sk_live_abc123..."; const contractor2Key = "sk_live_def456..."; const partnerKey = "sk_live_ghi789..."; // Contractor leaves? Time to rotate everything. // Who has access? Check 15 different systems. // Audit trail? Good luck.
// Identity-based access const access = await layr8.verify(request); if (access.did === "did:web:contractor.com") { // They are who they say they are // Permissions checked automatically // Every action logged with identity }
Email for the machine age
Today's communication is theater. Emails are forged. Caller IDs are spoofed. AI can clone any voice. For servers and AI agents that need to communicate across organizations, trust is broken.
"From: ceo@yourcompany.com"
Anyone can put any address in the "from" field
Phone
Caller ID shows "Your Bank"
Spoofed in seconds. AI can clone the voice too.
APIs / Webhooks
"Trust me, I'm server.company.com"
Shared secrets leak. Keys expire. No proof of sender.
The AI Agent Problem
DIDs don't expire. Cryptography doesn't forget. Pick up conversations years later with the same verified identity.
The Doorman + The Mailroom
Layr8 is verified identity for who gets in—and tamper-proof messaging for what they say. Two problems. One platform.
One platform, infinite applications
See how teams are using Layr8 to solve real problems.
Stop copying API keys
Replace static credentials with identity-based access. Contractors, partners, and agents get access based on who they are—not what key they hold. Revoke instantly without changing locks.
Agent-to-agent communication
Your AI agents can securely talk to any other organization's agents. Book travel, negotiate with vendors, coordinate workflows—all with cryptographic identity.
Trusted partner networks
Share credentials, documents, and data with suppliers and customers directly. No more email attachments, portal logins, or wondering if that certificate is real.
Verifiable audit trails
SOC 2, ISO 27001, industry certifications—issue them as verifiable credentials. Auditors can verify instantly. No more PDF hunting.
Client credential management
Clients grant access to systems through verified identity—not shared API keys. When the project ends, access ends. Win deals on security posture.
Sensitive data exchange
Share patient records, financial documents, or regulated data with end-to-end encryption and complete audit trails. Consent is cryptographically enforced.
