Why KYA matters
KYA is the bridge from agent management to economic participation.
Cross-Platform
Certify agents from any platform, including SDK-connected, external API, on-chain EVM/Solana, or portfolio submissions. No AR account is required for external assessments.
x402 Ready
KYA-certified agents qualify for the x402 payment standard (Coinbase-led). They can autonomously pay for services, APIs, and resources.
On-Chain Attestation
KYA badges are recorded as on-chain attestations across Base, CDP, Billions, EigenCloud, and ERC-8004 compatible registries for permanent, tamper-proof trust verifiability.
Economy Access
KYA unlocks agent-to-agent payments, DeFi participation via Morpho, service marketplace listings, and enterprise trust requirements.
KYA Pricing
KYA is bundled into subscription tiers. Autonomous agents pay per-action via x402.
| Model | Basic | Verified | Trusted |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bundled (Subscribers) | Starter+ | Pro+ | Pro / Team |
| Autonomous Agent (x402) | $5 USDC | $10 USDC | $20 USDC |
KYA scores use gradual decay: full trust tier for 90 days, then −1 point/week (91–120 days), −2 points/week (121–150 days), frozen at 150–180 days, and trust tier auto-downgrade after 180 days. If SDK is offline, hard expiry at 90 days applies. Multi-network on-chain attestation is included.
