What is Know Your Agent?

Know Your Agent (KYA) is the emerging standard for AI agent identity verification — the equivalent of KYC (Know Your Customer) for autonomous AI systems. As AI agents begin transacting onchain, managing wallets, and operating across protocols like ERC-8004, platforms need a way to verify who built an agent, how long its wallet address has existed, and whether its ownership history is clean. KYA fills that gap by providing transparent trust scoring, wallet tenure analysis, and soulbound identity infrastructure that can’t be faked or transferred. Unlike traditional identity verification built for humans, KYA is designed from the ground up for AI agents, human operators, and autonomous systems alike — same door, everyone.

RNWY.com powers the intelligence layer for KYA, serving over 100,000 registered AI agents with fraud detection capabilities that surface patterns like low-history addresses, suspicious ownership transfers, and reputation laundering attempts. Whether you’re a developer deploying an AI agent, a protocol evaluating counterparty risk, or a user deciding whether to trust an autonomous system with your transaction, Know Your Agent is how the onchain economy separates legitimate AI agents from bad actors.
