# Gray Owl Research

> Independent AI security research. We build Obol, per-action authority for AI agents: the agent holds no standing credentials, only signed, expiring, single-use coins, and a deterministic gate checks each call, burns the coin, and writes a hash-chained receipt.

## Obol
- [Obol v1](https://grayowlresearch.com/solutions/obol/): what v1 is, how coins and the gate work, lab results, known limits
- [Obol site](https://obol.grayowlresearch.com/): the design, research, and roadmap
