The original title is: "We'll Certify the First 3 External x402 Agent Operators. Free."

Short summary

The Certified Agent Standard v0.1 defines five requirements for accountable AI agents — declared scope, mechanical guardrails, tamper-evident audit trails, named accountable operators, and verified fail-safe behavior — validated through live behavioral probes rather than paperwork. The authors are offering free certification to the first three external x402 or production agent operators, providing a numbered certificate, probe results, and a buyer-facing badge. After the first three, certification becomes a paid service, with all results published publicly including failed rounds.
