kya — Know Your Agent

Trust scoring for AI agents. Check any wallet's trust score, verify ERC-8004 identity, get tier. Zero dependencies.

npm install agent-kya

Also available as: pip install agent-kya

Quick start

import kya from 'agent-kya';

// Trust score (0–100) — FREE, no API key
const { score, tier } = await kya.check('0xABC...');
console.log(score); // 73
console.log(tier);  // 'trusted'

// Quick boolean
if (await kya.isTrusted('0xABC...', 50)) {
  // safe to transact
}

Why

Every AI agent that transacts with another agent needs to answer one question: should I trust this address?

kya answers it in one line. No signup, no API key, no payment for basic checks.

API

Free (no API key)

Premium ($0.01/query via x402)

Examples

Check before paying another agent

import kya from 'kya';

async function payAgent(agentAddress: string, amount: number) {
  const trust = await kya.check(agentAddress);

  if (trust.blocked) throw new Error('Agent is sanctioned');
  if (trust.score < 20) throw new Error('Trust too low');

  // Proceed with payment...
}

Verify ERC-8004 identity

const { verified, agentId } = await kya.verify('0x...');
if (!verified) {
  console.log('Not a registered agent');
}

Batch check multiple agents

const results = await kya.batchCheck([
  '0xAgent1...',
  '0xAgent2...',
  '0xAgent3...',
]);
results.forEach(r => console.log(r.address, r.score, r.tier));

Deep analysis (paid)

const deep = await kya.deepAnalysis('0x...');
console.log(deep.recommendation); // 'allow' | 'review' | 'block'
console.log(deep.behavioral.anomalyFlags);

Custom API endpoint

import kya from 'agent-kya';

kya.configure({ baseUrl: 'https://my-kya-server.com' });

Trust tiers

How it works

kya queries the AsterPay KYA API which aggregates:

1. On-chain identity — ERC-8004 registration on Base
2. Wallet history — age, transaction count, balance patterns
3. Behavioral signals — velocity, pattern analysis, anomaly detection
4. Sanctions screening — OFAC, EU, UN sanctions lists

All free endpoints require no authentication. The API is rate-limited but generous for normal use.
