The Next Step in AI: Trust That Scales with Autonomy

The past few months have proven that autonomous agents are testing the web’s guardrails, from robots.txt to checkout flows, and trust is the casualty. At GoDaddy, we’re addressing this by supporting the Agent Name Service (ANS) open standard — a framework introducing a digital passport for autonomous agents. By binding each agent’s identity to its exact version of code, ANS creates verifiable trust even in multi-agent chains, reducing the risks of compromised code or “trust rot.”

This is more than a technical milestone. It’s the foundation for secure, scalable agent-to-agent commerce. This post follows our announcement from last month: ANS is now live, and we’re partnering with select companies to roll out implementations in the near future.

Exciting times ahead as we continue shaping the agent economy.

💬 What do you think: could verifiable, version-bound identity be the missing piece for safe autonomous collaboration?

This is a fascinating and much-needed development! As AI autonomy grows, establishing verifiable identity and trust mechanisms like ANS will be critical for safe, scalable adoption. Kudos to GoDaddy for taking a proactive step toward building a more transparent and secure agent ecosystem — truly a milestone for the future of digital collaboration and commerce

Thank you! Trust is the missing layer in autonomous systems , we’re excited to help shape how that evolves with ANS.
