Incode launches TrustGraph, the first trust network built for the agentic era14.10.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release
Incode Technologies, the global leader in AI-powered identity verification and fraud prevention, today launched TrustGraph, the privacy-preserving trust network that enables institutions to detect repeat fraud and agentic fraud, as well as to recognize legitimate customers with signals from across the network, without pooling, exchanging or exposing customer data. In Incode's early access program, institutions using TrustGraph detected up to 53% more fraud than with their existing models alone. TrustGraph runs on patented peer-to-peer cryptographic technology that connects fraud and trust signals across participating institutions without creating a central pool of customer records. It is the product of more than a decade of research conducted by Incode and Identiq, a pioneer in cryptographic peer-to-peer identity validation founded by security, privacy and identity veterans. Identiq was acquired by Incode in June 2026. Why now Fraudsters can now use AI agents to build synthetic identit
