Understanding KYA

Know Your Agent (KYA) is a protocol that provides AI agent developers with a standardized way to identify themselves, the users they represent, and their intent. In turn, it gives online businesses a deterministic, scalable framework for authenticating AI agents and gaining clear insight into who an agent represents and why it is acting. KYAPay extends the protocol by supporting tokenized payment credentials, enabling secure and seamless agentic commerce.

The growing interaction coming from AI agents and the growing trend toward agentic commerce is disrupting established paradigms of identity, trust, bot and fraud detection. Although this focuses more on the integration with the Skyfire services, a good understanding of the KYA protocol, how it fits in the growing stack of protocols and standards designed to enable agentic commerce is recommended.
