Malaysia-based Zetrix AI and the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology launched a Know Your Agent service. The service gives AI agents verifiable digital identities tied to individuals or organizations. The partners announced it at conferences in Wuzhen, China, and Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
How the service works
The service uses W3C Verifiable Credentials and AvatarLabs' Agentic Wallet technology. Owners can set rules for which services an agent may access, what information it can use, and how much it may spend. Transactions above approved limits can require human approval.
Company background
Zetrix AI is headquartered in Malaysia. The company started operations in 2000 as an e-government services provider. It operates a Layer-1 blockchain platform called Zetrix.
Cross-border pilot
A planned pilot will include organizations from the Middle East, Africa, China, and ASEAN. It will test identity checks and permission enforcement across different legal and regulatory systems. Use cases cover cross-border trade, digital payments, government services, and interactions between AI agents.
The partners plan to submit pilot findings to the International Telecommunication Union's Study Group 17. They will also share results with IEEE and other standard development organizations. Organizations interested in participating can contact agentid@avatarlabs.si.
