Built on the LEP100 standard, PPAL establishes privacy-aware identity once and carries it through execution, discovery, and settlement without requiring it to be re-verified at each step.
LONDON, UK — June 26, 2026 — Lithosphere today detailed the role of PPAL, its programmable, privacy-aware identity layer, in establishing persistent identity for users, applications, and autonomous agents operating across the Lithosphere stack. Built on the LEP100 standard, PPAL is designed to verify identity once and carry it forward through every subsequent interaction, rather than treating each step of a workflow as its own isolated verification event.
Identity is the layer most Web4 infrastructure treats as a checkpoint rather than a continuous property. A user or agent typically proves who it is at the start of an interaction, and that proof does not automatically extend to whatever happens next. Every additional system the interaction touches, an execution environment, a routing service, a settlement layer, ends up performing its own separate verification, often against its own separate identity record.
PPAL is built around a different assumption: that identity should be established once and remain attached to everything an agent or user does afterward. Once verified through PPAL, an identity carries forward into Lithic for task execution, into DNNS for service discovery and routing, and into MultX for cross-chain settlement, without requiring a fresh identity check at each handoff.
The LEP100 standard underpinning PPAL provides the governance and verification framework that makes this possible, defining how identity is structured, how it is verified, and how privacy is preserved as that identity moves through different parts of the stack. The result is identity that behaves less like a login and more like a property an agent or user simply carries with it for as long as it remains active within the ecosystem.
This matters increasingly as autonomous agents take on tasks that span multiple steps without direct human supervision at each stage. An agent verifying a counterparty, executing a task, and settling a resulting transaction needs its identity to remain consistent and trusted across all three steps. Without a persistent identity layer, each step becomes its own point of friction, and in some cases, its own point of failure.
“Identity should not have to be proven over and over again every time an agent moves to a different part of the stack,” said J. King Kasr, Chief Scientist at KaJ Labs. “PPAL was built so that identity, once established, stays with the agent or user through execution, discovery, and settlement. That continuity is what makes complex, multi-step workflows possible without compromising privacy or trust.”
PPAL’s privacy-aware design means this continuity does not come at the expense of exposing more information than necessary. Identity is verifiable where it needs to be verified, without requiring the underlying details behind that identity to be broadcast across every system it touches.
As Lithosphere continues building toward broader agent-driven activity across its ecosystem, PPAL is positioned as the layer that keeps identity coherent across that activity, supporting the kind of multi-step, cross-system workflows that autonomous agents increasingly require.
