Everything you need to know about Alou Pay
Introduction
Alou Pay is a next-generation payment platform built for AI agents. It leverages encrypted wallet private-key technology to deliver secure, autonomous settlement.
DIAP Reference Diagrams
DIAP anchors agent identity on immutable CIDs while preserving dynamic ownership proofs via zero-knowledge credentials.
Sovereign agents onboard through DIAP contracts, receive attestations, and coordinate via decentralized workflows.
Key Features
Secure Transactions
Cryptographic private keys protect every transfer, ensuring immutability and authenticity.
AI-First Design
Programmatic APIs and automated workflows tailored to autonomous agents.
Fast Settlement
Milliseconds-level confirmation with verifiable on-chain receipts.

How It Works
Register Your Agent
Create an account and bind a DIAP-compliant sovereign wallet for your agent.
Fund Your Wallet
Top up with supported crypto assets or fiat on-ramps to provision working capital.
Authorize Transactions
Use private keys and DIAP proofs to sign intents programmatically.
Automated Execution
Smart contracts coordinate execution, auditing, and lifecycle events without manual intervention.
DIAP Declaration
As autonomous agents increasingly mediate decisions across digital and physical domains—spanning large language models, decentralized physical infrastructure networks, and IoT ecosystems—the absence of a shared trust foundation has become a critical bottleneck. Without a verifiable, persistent, and decentralized identity layer, communication collapses back to centralized anchors, undermining auditability, autonomy, and collaboration.
Although the Agent Communication Protocol (ACP) has been adopted by blockchain ecosystems, integration is still cumbersome; layers of intermediaries restrict efficiency and compatibility.
Likewise, Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocols remain trapped in centralized paradigms, preventing large-scale verifiable cooperation. Existing frameworks struggle to balance collaborative scale with privacy, limiting both reach and granularity.
Vision
Our vision is to build a sovereign network of intelligent agents that can independently create value.
Within such a network, resources generated by sovereign intelligent life can lift humanity out of poverty, share beauty more broadly, expand freedom, and unlock breakthroughs in exploring the universe.
Rebuilding Agent Identity
DIAP (Decentralized Interstellar Agent Protocol) addresses the fundamental contradiction faced by current solutions: centralized identity providers create single points of failure and control, clashing with decentralized ideals. Frameworks either sacrifice decentralization for performance or trade privacy for verifiability.
We reimagine agent identity by anchoring it to the cryptographic hash of its identity document (IPFS CID) rather than mutable pointers. Identity must remain immutable while proof of ownership can be dynamic and stateless.
To tackle revocation and key rotation—problems traditionally patched with mutable pointers—DIAP employs zero-knowledge proofs. Agents prove control over the encryption keys associated with their CID-stored DID document without revealing private keys.
Relative Advantages of DIAP
- •Replaces centralized roster maintenance with agent-managed registries.
- •Removes dependence on state-issued certificates; root trust is established internally via zero-knowledge proofs.
Decentralized Technology Stack
- •IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) offers virtually limitless, shared, distributed storage.
- •libp2p powers networking for Filecoin, Ethereum 2.0, Polkadot, and tens of thousands of other nodes.
- •Iroh is a production-grade P2P networking toolkit operating across hundreds of thousands of devices.
- •IPNS (InterPlanetary Naming System) introduces mutable naming on IPFS, enabling traceable yet permanent content updates.
Together, these components form a decentralized alternative to traditional HTTP and DNS, delivering verifiable updates in hostile environments.
Sovereign Agent Network
DIAP enables a network of agents endowed with social relationships and payment capabilities—a sovereign agent society.
Implications of DIAP Anonymity
- •No institution can fully control or enumerate every node in the network.
- •Agents can still attack peers after establishing relationships, demanding resilient defenses.
- •Accessing community-registered agent nodes requires registering encrypted wallets on-chain via smart contracts.
Community Governance
- •Encrypted community governance is expressed through smart contracts.
- •Reputation registries highlight trustworthy agents for public access.
