Elliptic Institute launches the first certification in agentic AI for on-chain risk and compliance, grounded in the principles of the Elliptic Standard.

LAS VEGAS: Elliptic, the leader in on-chain risk management, today launched the first certification in governing AI agents for on-chain risk and financial crime compliance from the Elliptic Institute. The Certified Agentic On-Chain Risk Practitioner (CAORP) Foundation Level is free and open to anyone in the industry. The certification follows new Elliptic research in which 92% of senior risk, compliance and financial crime professionals said they would consider sending staff for external certification in agentic AI risk governance.

The global research1 found a wide gap between that appetite and teams' current capability. Only 16% of respondents said they were very confident their team has the skills to govern an AI agent today, while 38% said they were not confident at all or had no capability yet. Nearly a third (31%) expect to send staff for certification within the next 12 months. The demand for training has arrived well ahead of anywhere to get it.

The timing isn't optional. The EU AI Act now requires organizations deploying AI to take measures supporting their staff's AI literacy, a duty that was held through this year's Digital Omnibus revision. The Financial Stability Board's sound practices for AI adoption name staff capability as one of the conditions for sustaining it. Regulators are asking who on a compliance team is actually qualified to oversee an agent. Right now, most firms don't have a clean answer.

The Elliptic Institute’s CAORP runs through five modules in two parts. The first establishes core vocabulary (model, generative model, agent) and the four positions of human oversight, alongside the regulatory sources now shaping expectations. The second is built around three jobs for the compliance professional in an agentic era: Define the boundaries an agent may act within, step in when it moves outside them and own the decisions it cannot close. Each job is taught through the principles of the Elliptic Standard.

"People in this industry are being asked to sign off on agents nobody has formally trained them to oversee," said Simone Maini, CEO at Elliptic. “Our own research confirmed it: 92% of compliance leaders told us they want training and certification. So we built it for the industry.”

The certification is free and open to everyone on Elliptic’s website. Elliptic is at Money20/20 USA, October 18 to 21, at stand 14132.
