zkKYA is zkMe's Know Your Agent credential, binding each AI agent to an accountable human principal. Five proofs cover identity, capability, payments, intent, and reputation without exposing the human behind the agent.
AI Agent Developers
Issue credentials to AI agents to enable verified interaction with DeFi protocols, DAOs, and Web3 services.
Agent Platforms & Orchestrators
Trust infrastructure for multi-agent systems — verify identity, scope, and reputation between agents.
DeFi Protocols
Gate protocol access to verified, credentialed agents only.

Certifies that an agent has been audited and is qualified to perform the actions it claims. Issued after a formal certification process.
Real-time credential verifying declared intent before execution. Ensures the agent's stated purpose aligns with its authorized scope.
Enables agents to autonomously execute secure financial transactions within a TEE enclave — without ever holding raw credentials, private keys, or sensitive data.
Tracks agent reputation over time based on historical behavior and compliance. Used for risk-adjusted trust decisions.
The zkKYA credential flow
Reputation tracked
The agent's on-chain behavior is tracked over time, building a verifiable reputation (ARC).
Payment executed
The agent executes a secure transaction through zkMe's TEE enclave — without ever holding raw credentials or private keys (APF).
Intent declared
Before each action, the agent declares its intent, which is verified against its scope (AIC).
Certification issued
zkMe audits and certifies the agent's capabilities, issuing an ACC credential.
Agent registered
The agent developer registers their AI agent and links it to a verified principal identity (APC).
