Enable anyone to delegate routine commerce — shopping, payments, subscriptions — to AI agents while retaining full control over spending, approvals, and trust.
Delego envisions a future where AI agents can safely and effectively handle commerce tasks on behalf of users, while users maintain complete sovereignty over their assets, spending decisions, and trust relationships. By combining cutting-edge AI technology with blockchain-based trust mechanisms, Delego creates a new paradigm for delegated commerce.
The Problem: AI assistants can browse, compare, and recommend products — but they cannot safely transact on a user's behalf today due to gaps in delegated spending authority, approval workflows, escrow mechanisms, and fragmented integrations.
The Solution: Delego provides a comprehensive platform that enables safe, transparent, and programmable delegation of commerce tasks to AI agents, built on Stellar and Soroban for trust-minimized operations.
Users maintain complete ownership and control over:
- Wallet: Users own their Stellar wallet and private keys
- Permissions: Users define and control what agents can do
- Data: Users control their personal and transaction data
- Approvals: Users approve or reject agent actions before execution
- Revocation: Users can revoke agent permissions at any time
Every agent action is fully auditable and transparent:
- Action Logging: All agent actions are logged and accessible
- Audit Trail: Complete history of agent decisions and actions
- Explainability: Agents provide explanations for their decisions
- Real-time Monitoring: Users can monitor agent activity in real-time
- Verification: Users can verify agent actions against their intentions
Trust is established and enforced through on-chain mechanisms:
- Escrow: Funds are held in smart contract escrow until conditions are met
- Spending Limits: Programmable spending limits enforce budget control
- Approval Thresholds: Configurable approval requirements for different transaction types
- Reputation: On-chain reputation scores for merchants and agents
- Time-Locks: Time-locked releases prevent premature fund release
The platform is built on open standards for interoperability:
