Autonomous AI agents are the next trillion-dollar economy, yet they currently operate in a "Trust Vacuum." Without a standardized way to prove their hardware security, operational limits, and legal accountability, agents will face systemic rejection from regulated financial systems and global users.
Open-KYA is a community-driven initiative to build the Know Your Agent (KYA) protocol. We provide the cryptographic and semantic framework that allows agents to be:
- Transparent: Visible operational constraints and programmable safety fuses.
- Attestable: Verifiable proofs of unmodified execution within Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs).
- Accountable: Clear legal bridges between digital actions and real-world recourse through Ricardian contracts.
Join us in building the infrastructure for a safe, autonomous future.
