About amser
Building safe authorization for autonomous systems
Building safe authorization for autonomous systems
amser is a decentralized protocol designed to enable recurring, programmable authorization without custody.
As software systems become increasingly autonomous, particularly with the rise of AI agents, the ability to grant ongoing authority safely and predictably has become a foundational problem. Blockchains excel at one-off transactions, but they lack a native way to express bounded, ongoing permission. amser exists to address that gap.

Why amser exists
Why amser exists
Most existing systems treat recurring activity as a payment problem.
In practice, recurring activity is an authorization problem.
Autonomous agents, long-running services, and on-chain applications need to know:
what actions are permitted
under what limits
for how long
and under whose authority
Relying on repeated approvals, custodial wallets, or unlimited allowances introduces risk and fragility, particularly when systems are designed to operate continuously.
amser was built to make ongoing authorization explicit, enforceable, and revocable.

amser defines a protocol-native way to grant ongoing authority. Authority is explicit, bounded, and always revocable.
Budgets
A budget sets the maximum value a system can consume over its lifetime. Once the limit is reached, execution stops.

Credits represent bounded units of authority. They are consumed as actions are performed.

Vouchers
Vouchers grant scoped authority for a fixed period of time. They specify what can be done, and when it expires.

Payments are one possible outcome of authorization. They are not the abstraction itself.
Subscriptions, usage billing, and autonomous execution are all expressions of the same model.
Who amser is built for

Authority should be explicit.
Bounded.
And revocable by default.
amser exists for systems that need to run continuously
without violating those principles.
