  "account": "Baselayer has secured $35 million in Series A funding to develop its AI agent identity infrastructure. The New York-based startup led by Jonathan Awad and Timothy Hyde has expanded its Agentic Identity Suite. The company's technology prevents over $1 billion in fraud losses for financial institutions. As AI agents perform tasks previously done by people, traditional identity systems are inadequate. Baselayer aims to establish trust between institutions and autonomous agents. The Agentic Identity Suite incorporates cryptographic verification and industry standards. Baselayer is integrating its existing financial identity network into the agentic economy, currently supporting over 2,300 financial institutions. The company is working with partners like FIS, Prove, and Socure, and adheres to emerging standards like FIDO Alliance and x402 Identity Working Group. With major payments companies developing AI-driven commerce infrastructure, Baselayer anticipates a $3-5 trillion increase in retail spending by 2030.",
