| # 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? |
