Zoro

Zoro is a control plane for agentic spending. Rather than replacing payment networks, it evaluates intent, applies constraints, executes approved transactions across payment rails, and returns signed receipts. Its policies connect each agent payment to a task, tool, and mandate.

Key Features

• Programmable Mandates: Define revocable budgets, merchants, and expiration.
• Agent Attribution: Trace agent, task, tool, and mandate for every action.
• Cross-Rail Execution: Govern ACP, TAP, AP2, x402, and crypto wallets.
• Kill Switches: Stop an agent, session, or organization globally.
• Signed Receipts: Return an auditable record after approved execution.
• Normalized Liability: Present consistent controls across different rails.

Use Cases

Who Should Use This Tool?

• Multi-Rail Agent Platforms operating across payment protocols.
• Governance Teams requiring attribution and revocation controls.
• Enterprises standardizing agent payment policy across applications.

Problems It Solves

1. Protocol fragmentation: One layer normalizes authorization and execution.
2. Weak attribution: Payments remain linked to agents and tasks.
3. Slow incident response: Kill switches revoke authority at several scopes.

Pricing

Advantages & Unique Selling Points

Compared to Competitors:

1. Rail-neutral governance: Zoro sits above networks instead of requiring one rail.
2. End-to-end control: It evaluates, executes, and records transactions.
3. Granular shutdown: Revocation can target an agent, session, or organization.

What Makes It Stand Out:

• Attribution from agent through task, tool, and mandate.
• Signed receipts suitable for audit workflows.
• APIs for authorization, execution, and revocation.

User Reviews

"A single policy layer is easier to govern than separate controls for every payment protocol." Illustrative platform-architect perspective, editorially composed

"Task-level attribution makes the receipt useful to both engineering and finance." Illustrative operations-lead perspective, editorially composed

Getting Started

Quick Start Guide

1. Map payment rails: List protocols and wallets used by agents.
2. Authorize an agent: Call zoro.authorize(agent, policy) with a mandate.
3. Execute tasks: Use zoro.execute(task, limits) for approved spending.
4. Prepare revocation: Connect zoro.revoke(agent) to incident procedures.

Integration

Integrates with:

• ACP, TAP, AP2, and x402
• Crypto wallets and other payment rails
• Audit, policy, and incident-response systems

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Zoro a payment network?

No. It governs and executes across existing payment networks and protocols.

Can mandates be revoked?

Yes. Policies are revocable, with global kill switches at multiple scopes.

What does a receipt contain?

Zoro returns a signed, auditable record connected to the agent's execution context.

Alternatives

• Delegare: Signed mandates with Stripe or USDC settlement.
• Signets: Cards, accounts, policies, and reconciliation.
• FluxA: Intent-based non-custodial commerce.

Tips & Best Practices

1. Preserve task identifiers: Keep attribution complete across tools and payments.
2. Test kill switches: Include revocation drills in operational readiness.
3. Normalize policies early: Define shared limits before adding new rails.

Conclusion

Zoro provides consistent governance when agents transact across a fragmented payment landscape. Its cross-rail mandates, granular attribution, kill switches, and signed receipts make it a strong control layer for serious autonomous-spending programs.
