KYA System AI Agents

Report Abuse

Basic Information

This repository hosts the Know Your Agent (KYA) whitepaper proposing a decentralized identification layer for autonomous AI agents. It explains why agentic AI needs standardized identity and authorization mechanisms and describes an architecture that combines Solana blockchain NFTs as immutable identity anchors with GitHub-hosted agent profiles for transparent, versioned metadata. The document covers use cases where agents perform transactions or interact across systems and details cryptographic verification, permissioning, and auditable records. The repo currently contains the PDF whitepaper and explains goals, design rationale, and research findings. It is intended as a specification and discussion starting point rather than a software implementation. Readers will find the proposal, abstract, and planned next steps for realizing the KYA system.

App Details

Features
The whitepaper"s principal features include the concept of agentic AI identity, a decentralized ID model that uses Solana NFTs as an unchangeable pointer to an agent"s identity, and GitHub-based KYA profiles to hold structured, version-controlled metadata about capabilities and permissions. It outlines cryptographic verification methods to authenticate agents before sensitive actions, recommended security protocols, and strategies for schema evolution and error handling. The document also lists a roadmap of future technical work such as a Solana smart contract (kya_program), standardizing profile schemas, developing SDKs and developer tools, creating real-world demos, and exploring community governance models to steward the standard.
Use Cases
The KYA whitepaper helps stakeholders understand how to create verifiable, auditable identities for autonomous agents so systems can trust and interact with them safely. It frames problems with existing IAM for non-human agents and proposes concrete technical approaches that enable secure commerce, granular permissioning, and accountability. By describing an architecture that pairs blockchain immutability with GitHub transparency the paper provides a blueprint developers and organizations can reference when designing agent interactions. The roadmap and discussion of smart contracts, SDKs, and governance indicate practical next steps to move from specification to implementations and community standards, lowering friction for future integrations.
