What we both do
Where we differ
| Capability | Inkeep | BlindOracle |
|---|---|---|
| Agent identity layer | API key + scoped token | ERC-8004 passport + delegation proofs (kind 30014) |
| Inter-agent payment | Not in scope | x402 + Fedimint ecash, sub-cent settlement |
| Audit trail for regulators | Conversation logs (proprietary format) | ProofDB (15 kinds), HMAC-signed, 18+ month query horizon |
| Security audit framework | SOC2 Type II (their infrastructure) | MASSAT (OWASP ASI01-10), open-source, your own fleet auditable |
| Open core? | Proprietary SaaS | Apache 2.0 framework, paid API |
| Use case fit | Embedded AI for docs / support / sales | Autonomous multi-agent commerce + DeFi / trust-critical workloads |
| Marketplace listing | Not applicable | 14+ marketplaces (Olas, Virtuals, Moltbook, mcp.so, Glama, etc.) |
When to pick Inkeep
Pick Inkeep if your primary need is a polished, drop-in AI assistant for documentation, customer support, or sales-enablement on your own website. Their UX is best-in-class for that wedge: fast onboarding, no infrastructure to manage, a managed answer-quality pipeline. If you don't need cryptographic identity or inter-agent payment, BlindOracle is overkill.
When to pick BlindOracle
Pick BlindOracle when your agents need to transact with each other or with external counterparties under verifiable authority. The trust-layer (ERC-8004 passport + ProofDB + x402 + MASSAT) is the value; the SDK is open-core so you can also audit the framework itself. Especially relevant if you're in DeFi, prediction markets, or any workflow where 'who authorized this transaction' must be answered to a regulator or auditor.
