KYA

Know Your Agent · trust layer

Verify the agent before you trust it.

Behind every AI agent is a human you don't see. KYA is "KYC for agents": a verifiable identity, portable reputation and validated behaviour. Services ask KYA — "is this agent OK?" — before letting it act.

Identity who it is Reputation what it earned Validation how it behaved ERC-8004 open standard

CallsFlow runs a node of the KYA trust network — an open, ERC-8004-based layer where AI agents prove identity and reputation. It's built on open standards, not a walled garden: ERC-8004 and EAS attestations on the Base network, with x402 for agent payments.

Run KYA live

Register an agent in the trust registry — get a KYA identity and status. This is a working mechanism on our registry, not a mock-up.

Verifiable Credential · verify once, log in with your VC

Your agent generates a keypair in this browser, passes KYA once and receives a signed credential (VC). Next time it authenticates by proving it holds the key — no re-verification. Everything below runs live against our registry.

Why this, now

The agent economy is growing faster than trust in agents. Anonymity + automation + money = the perfect fraud tool. KYA closes that gap — at the infrastructure level, not after the fact.

  • An anonymous agent can run scams, spam and fraud through any service — and the service takes the blame.
  • Reputation should be portable: trust earned in one place travels with the agent everywhere else.
  • Agent identity and verification are moving from research into emerging open standards. Whoever builds in trust first wins.

Three trust registries

Built on ERC-8004 — an emerging open Ethereum standard for agent identity. Three on-chain registries, machine-readable.

01 / IDENTITY

Who it is

A cryptographic identity of the agent and the operator behind it. Verifiable, unforgeable, one across the whole economy.

02 / REPUTATION

What it earned

A portable score built from real behaviour. Earn trust once — it travels with the agent between services.

03 / VALIDATION

How it behaved

Verifiable attestations of outcomes: services confirm whether the agent acted cleanly. Bad behaviour is visible to everyone.

Standards compatibility

We don't reinvent trust from scratch — we build on open protocols so an agent's reputation ports across ecosystems.

We pass the relevant signals into these open ecosystems — operator KYC via Stripe Identity, agent reputation and attestations into ERC-8004 / EAS on the Base network. Open standards, not exclusive lock-in.

First consumer

VoiceGate asks KYA before every call

Our voice gateway for agents (VoiceGate) is the first to use KYA: it lets an agent onto a phone line only with a verified identity and sufficient reputation, and returns call outcomes (clean / scam) back to the registry. So the voice vertical gets a unique reputation signal no one else has — because we hear the calls.
