FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CapiscIO Selected for Startup Row at PyCon US 2026

The trust infrastructure layer for AI agent systems will exhibit in Long Beach, California, May 14-16

CapiscIO, the open trust infrastructure layer for multi-agent AI systems, has been selected by the Python Software Foundation to exhibit at Startup Row at PyCon US 2026. The company will be on the conference floor in Long Beach, California from May 14 through May 16.

PyCon US is the largest annual gathering of the Python developer community. Startup Row is a curated cohort and one of the few venues where early-stage infrastructure companies earn floor space alongside established sponsors.

The Problem

If you are deploying agents in production today, you have probably already felt this. One agent calls another. That second agent calls a third. Somewhere in that chain, an action gets taken that nobody explicitly authorized -- or worse, you have no way to prove that it was authorized. When something breaks or goes out of scope, your audit trail is whatever you remembered to log.

There is no standard way to prove that a delegated agent stayed within its authorized scope. There is no cryptographic chain of custody across agent handoffs. The trust model the whole stack depends on is being held together with API keys, custom middleware, and careful documentation that nobody reads under pressure.

For the organizations deploying these systems, that gap is not just a technical debt item. It is a liability. When an AI agent acts outside its authorized scope -- on a customer account, a financial transaction, or a regulated workflow -- the question of who authorized what becomes a legal and audit question, not just an engineering one. Right now, most teams cannot answer it.

What CapiscIO Provides

CapiscIO is the Let's Encrypt for agents. It issues verifiable agent credentials anchored to decentralized identifiers, enforces delegation scope cryptographically, and ensures that authority only ever narrows as it passes from agent to agent. A delegated agent cannot exceed the authority of the agent that delegated to it. That invariant is enforced at the cryptographic layer, not at the policy configuration layer.

The result is a verifiable chain of custody across every agent handoff -- one that developers can embed in minutes and that security and compliance teams can audit without asking engineering to reconstruct it after the fact.

The infrastructure is open, developer-first, and operates above agent communication protocols as a protocol-agnostic enforcement layer. It integrates into existing multi-agent stacks without forcing an architectural overhaul, regardless of which agent communication protocol is in use.

At PyCon US 2026

Developers attending PyCon US will be able to:

• Install the CapiscIO SDK on-site in minutes (pip install capiscio-sdk)
• Watch live delegation chain enforcement across a multi-agent demo
• Run the full A2A demo stack directly from the open source repository

Quote from the Founder

"Python developers are building the agent infrastructure the industry is going to run on. PyCon is where that community is concentrated. We have a working SDK, live delegation enforcement, and integration you can run in minutes. We want practitioners stress-testing it in real scenarios and telling us where the friction is. That feedback loop is what separates infrastructure that actually gets adopted from infrastructure that stays theoretical."

-- Beon de Nood, Founder, CapiscIO

Availability

The CapiscIO SDK is available now on PyPi. The A2A demo stack is open source at github.com/capiscio/a2a-demos. The team is actively onboarding design partners building multi-agent systems who need verifiable delegation and authority enforcement today.

About CapiscIO

CapiscIO is the trust infrastructure layer for AI agent systems -- the Let's Encrypt for agents. It issues cryptographically verifiable agent credentials, enforces delegation chain scope, and ensures authority only ever narrows as it passes between agents. CapiscIO operates above agent communication protocols as a protocol-agnostic enforcement layer and is designed to be embedded at the infrastructure level before security requirements force a retrofit. CapiscIO is a product of New Vector Group.
