Introduction
Understand what AgentLedger does and why trust infrastructure is the critical missing layer in the agent web.
The Problem
Explore the discovery gap, trust vacuum, and fragmentation crisis driving the need for AgentLedger.
Architecture Overview
See how the three components — Manifest Registry, Trust Ledger, and Audit Chain — work together.
Manifest Registry
Learn how services register capabilities and how agents discover and query them.
Trust Ledger
Understand blockchain-anchored attestations and how trust scores are computed.
Audit Chain
See how every agent action is logged in a tamper-proof, liability-grade chain of custody.
The Three Components
AgentLedger addresses the trust and discovery gaps in today’s agent protocol stack through three integrated components:Manifest Registry
Services publish a structured manifest at
/.well-known/agent-manifest.json declaring their capabilities, pricing, data requirements, and SLAs. Agents query the registry by capability ontology tag, natural language, or ambient discovery to find verified services before interacting with them.Trust Ledger
Attestation events, revocation records, and version history are anchored on-chain — making trust claims independently verifiable by any agent without relying on AgentLedger directly. No single party, including AgentLedger, can retroactively alter a service’s trust history.
