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?
