Seattle – October 14, 2026 -- Chainguard has launched Chainguard Checks in Beta, a continuous verification engine that returns signed, trusted test results to developers and AI agents in seconds, before code reaches a pull request.

The product targets a bottleneck created by agentic development. Traditional CI was built for developers who push code a few times a day, while agents iterate constantly. Every change lands in the same queue, and results often return after the agent has lost its working context. Teams also pay repeatedly for the same setup work.
