ACom FAQ

Common technical and strategic questions about Kachyng Agentic Commerce — the governance and control layer for AI agents that need to transact. For anything not covered here, reach us at press@kachyng.com.

Is Kachyng just another messaging protocol for AI agents?

No. Messaging protocols define how parties talk, but Kachyng defines whether they should transact. We sit above communication layers as the control layer for commerce. Our focus is the deterministic enforcement of identity, authority, and risk limits — the pieces that let agents transact safely in the real economy.

Do merchants need to replatform or migrate their catalogs to use Kachyng?

Absolutely not. We built Kachyng to be a non-invasive rail. Your existing e-commerce storefront for human shoppers stays completely untouched. We simply make your existing catalog agent-readable, letting you gate agent access with the same governance and security you apply to human transactions. There is zero replatforming tax.

How is this different from existing IAM tools like Okta or Entra?

Traditional IAM was built for human users, not autonomous agents. It struggles with agent-to-agent delegation, dynamic spending limits, and the ephemeral nature of AI-driven workflows. Kachyng treats agent identity and transactional delegation as first-class primitives, so an agent's authority is cryptographically bound to specific merchant offers and spending limits.

What happens if an AI agent goes rogue?

That is precisely the problem we solved in our latest proof. Our platform includes a runtime KYA (Know Your Agent) engine that evaluates transaction attempts in real time. If an agent tries to exceed its delegated spending limit or deviates from its authorized terms, the system automatically rejects the transaction. We turn rogue-agent behavior from a catastrophic liability into a controlled, blocked event.

How do you handle interoperability with existing payment processors?

Kachyng is processor-agnostic. We function as an overlay rail that communicates with your existing payment infrastructure. We don't ask you to replace your current payment service provider — we provide the governance and trust layer that wraps around those existing rails to make them agent-ready.

Can this handle multi-agent delegations?

Yes. Our Identity Exchange (IDX) pillar is designed specifically for complex delegation chains. We trace an agent's authority back to the original delegator, so every purchase decision is grounded in a verified chain of trust — regardless of how many steps or sub-agents are involved.

Is this system closed-loop?

No. We are building for an open ecosystem. Our architecture integrates with diverse agent runtimes and merchant backends. We are actively working toward standards that let Kachyng be the universal governance layer, regardless of which underlying LLMs or communication protocols are used.
