Research Preview — Cred is in active development and has not undergone a third-party security audit. Do not delegate production credentials with spending authority. Use test credentials while we harden the platform.

One person, real infrastructure, shipping code.

I got tired of watching the same failure mode: developer needs user's API key, user pastes it into a form, key lives in plaintext somewhere it shouldn't. OAuth solved “login with Google.” Yet, there's no standard way to delegate API credentials.

Cred is the missing layer: OAuth 2.0 credential delegation middleware. I've run large-scale operations (ETHDenver), shipped smart contracts to production (0xBrands), and built developer tools across multiple domains.

Cred is credential delegation for AI agents. Your users keep control. Your agents get scoped access. Refresh tokens never leave the vault. I'm focused on getting the protocol right before scaling.

Cred is early. If you care about credential security, developer experience, or building protocol-level infrastructure, let's talk.
