# AgentKit: "Power of Attorney" for AI Agents

The most consequential piece of the bundle: World ID for Agents via AgentKit lets a verified person delegate World ID Proofs to an AI agent, which presents them to third parties without revealing personal data — described as power of attorney for agents. AgentKit is still in beta (released March 2026 on Coinbase's x402 protocol). It's the first mainstream attempt to answer the question every agent-commerce demo dodges: how does the other side know the agent acts for a real human?

## Key facts

- Mechanism: a verified person delegates World ID Proofs to an AI agent; the agent presents proofs to third parties without exposing personal data.
- AgentKit remains in beta; it was released in beta in March 2026 on Coinbase's x402 protocol.
- Framed by World as "power of attorney" — identity delegation, not just authentication.
