Who uses Prokura
A Prokura is the power of attorney an agent carries: what it may spend, where, and until when. Each payment attempt becomes a receipt the check can stamp let through, held for a human, or blocked.

Key facts
- Prokura is a signed mandate, a deterministic gate, and a verifiable evidence ledger.
- Prokura is not a bank, does not hold money, and has no model in the decision.
- Prokura Network is operated by Fynteq, Frankfurt am Main.
- What is live is the public demo and the evidence feed. Rail status is whatever /status reads from the core.
- The source is public at github.com/prokura-network. The licence is the one in that repository.
Procurement
The problem: an agent renews software and buys supplies, and a person cannot watch every invoice.
How Prokura works: the agent carries a Prokura with a budget, a list of suppliers, and an expiry. A payment inside that limit is let through. Anything else is blocked or held.
Who needs it: a CFO, finance ops, and IT security.
Travel
The problem: an agent books trips, and a fare above the company limit should wait for a person.
How Prokura works: the Prokura names the travel merchants and the amount the agent may spend alone. A higher fare is held for a human tap. The receipt keeps the decision.
Who needs it: finance ops, the traveller, and IT security.
Finance ops
The problem: an agent pays supplier invoices, and a payment to an unknown account or one without an invoice should not move.
How Prokura works: the Prokura names the accounts and can require an invoice. The check blocks a payee that is not on it.
Who needs it: a CFO, accounts payable, and IT security.
Marketing
The problem: an agent buys ads, and a daily cap has to hold even when the agent keeps trying.
How Prokura works: the Prokura carries the daily amount. Once it is used, later attempts are blocked. The receipts show the running day.
Who needs it: a CFO, marketing ops, and IT security.
Agents hiring agents
The problem: an agent pays another agent for data or compute, and that second agent must not inherit the full authority.
How Prokura works: each agent gets its own Prokura. A child can spend only inside the parent's limits. The public feed names a parent when the record carries delegationParent.
Who needs it: the principal, IT security, and the person building the agent.
What the public feed does not say yet
A public record today carries the agent name, the counterparty, the decision, a reason, an amount bucket, and, for the demo tenant, an exact amount, an outcome sentence, and whether the Prokura was signed.
It does not yet carry a role, the principal's name, the caps, the payee list, the purposes, the expiry, a seal prefix, a short description of the item, a hiring event, or an expiry event. The site leaves those lines off rather than invent them.
