short_description: Infrastructure for trusted identity in AI agent ecosystems
Agent Name Service (ANS)
Agent Name Service (ANS) is an open system for establishing verifiable identity for AI agents. It anchors agents to domain-based identities, enabling secure discovery, provenance, and interoperability across ecosystems.
Why this matters
In multi-agent systems, it’s not enough to discover agents — systems must be able to verify:
- Who created the agent
- Whether it is authentic
- What version is being interacted with
Without this, trust does not scale.
What ANS introduces
- Domain-based identity for agents
- Cryptographic verification
- DNS-backed resolution
- Interoperability across platforms
Open questions
- Should agent identity live at the application layer or the internet layer?
- How should trust signals propagate across agent ecosystems?
- What standards are needed for interoperability?
