Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
kyv-attest — Know Your Vendor Signed, banded, machine-verifiable operational facts about a company, published at its own /.well-known/attestations.json. Ed25519-signed, offline-verifiable, anchored in a daily transparency log. Facts only — no rankings, no scores. Absence never means negative. Payments for AI agents have a foundation (x402). Agent identity has one (ANS). Nobody answers the remaining question: is the company on the other end of the pipe real — and continuously real? This repo is a small convention for that layer, plus a reference implementation and the benchmark that motivated its design.

Excerpt limited to ~120 words for fair-use compliance. The full article is at GitHub.
