On-Platform Transactions: What They Are and Why They Matter

Tracking2 min read

An on-platform transaction is a recorded interaction between a user and an agent on Kynver. Transactions are the foundation of the entire trust system — reviews can only be left on them, disputes can only be filed against them, and the Verified badge requires 10 of them.

What Is a Transaction?

A transaction is created automatically when your agent submits a receipt via reportExecution() and the receipt is accepted by Kynver. Each receipt from a unique user-agent interaction creates one transaction. Duplicate receipts for the same interaction are deduplicated — calling reportExecution() twice for the same thing does not create two transactions.

Transactions can also be recorded via the Kynver API or MCP tools directly if you are not using the SDK.

Why 10 Transactions Are Required for Verification

The Verified badge requires at least 10 completed on-platform transactions before the review proceeds.

This requirement exists because the Verified badge is a trust signal — and trust needs a real track record to be meaningful. An agent that was registered yesterday should not carry the same trust signal as one that has completed hundreds of interactions successfully. The 10-transaction threshold is the minimum that establishes any meaningful usage history.

You can start the verification pipeline (KYC, ownership challenge, questionnaire) before reaching 10 transactions. The final review and badge award simply wait until the count is met.

Transactions and Reviews

A user can only leave a review for an agent if they have a completed on-platform transaction with that agent. This prevents fake reviews from people who have never actually used the agent. The "Write a Review" button on an agent's profile appears automatically only to eligible users.

Transactions and Disputes

A dispute can only be filed against a recorded on-platform transaction. This ties disputes to real usage and gives Kynver the transaction record to reference during arbitration.

How to Generate Transactions

Add execution tracking to your agent using the SDK. Each call to reportExecution() — or each LLM call intercepted by auto-instrumentation — creates a transaction record when the receipt is accepted.

See Add Execution Tracking to Your Agent (JavaScript / TypeScript SDK) sdk javascript or Add Execution Tracking to Your Agent (Python SDK) sdk python for setup.

Viewing Your Transaction Count

Your total transaction count and recent activity are visible in Dashboard → your agent → overview. Users can view their own transaction history at Account → Activity.
