TLDR: Anonybit, a leader in decentralized biometrics, has partnered with AI-native no-code platform SmartUp to introduce the first privacy-preserving digital identity solution for AI agents. This collaboration aims to bring secure, identity-bound agentic automation to critical enterprise workflows, addressing significant risks related to trust, fraud, and control in the burgeoning field of agentic commerce.
New York, NY – July 7, 2025 – In a significant move set to redefine the security landscape for artificial intelligence, decentralized biometrics solutions provider Anonybit has announced a strategic partnership with SmartUp, an AI-native no-code platform. The collaboration culminates in the introduction of what the companies are calling the first privacy-preserving digital identity solution specifically designed for AI agents.
This pioneering solution is engineered to embed secure, identity-bound agentic automation into core enterprise workflows, including payments, supply chain management, and order management. It represents a crucial step forward in securing agentic commerce through the innovative application of decentralized biometrics.
Frances Zelazny, Co-Founder and CEO of Anonybit, emphasized the critical need for such a solution. “Agentic commerce holds incredible promise for efficiency and scale, but without identity, it also introduces serious risks around trust, fraud, and control,” Zelazny stated. “We’re proud to be the first to bring a real-world solution to market that delivers secure, ethical, and scalable agentic workflows. With SmartUp, we’re proving that identity-bound agents can operate in production, not just in theory.”
Anonybit’s contribution to the partnership leverages its robust decentralized biometric cloud, a secure data vault, and an advanced identity token management system. These components collectively form what Zelazny describes as the ‘missing identity layer’ essential for enterprises to build trust, ensure accountability, and future-proof their agent-driven automation initiatives. The platform supports multimodal authentication, including iris, voice, and palm biometrics, without storing complete biometric profiles in a single location, thereby minimizing breach risks.
Moishe Shemtov, Co-Founder and Country Manager of SmartUp, highlighted the immediate benefits for their clientele. “SmartUp is pioneering agentic automation in core business functions like order management and supply chain management, and our customers are already seeing the benefits of secure, identity-bound agents,” Shemtov commented. “With Anonybit’s identity infrastructure, we ensure our agents are not only autonomous, but accountable. This is the foundation for the next generation of secure enterprise AI.”
The integrated solution enables identity-bound agents to authenticate business users and customers using biometrics and privacy-preserving credentials. It authorizes specific tasks through scoped identity tokens and integrations with orchestration platforms, providing real-time auditability and enforcing a zero-trust model across all workflows. This framework goes beyond mere authentication, enabling secure, authorized, and accountable agentic flows across various business functions.
