AgentLedger is trust and discovery infrastructure for the autonomous agent web. This page explains what AgentLedger is, the scale of the trust problem it addresses, and how its three components work together to fill a gap that no existing protocol covers.

What AgentLedger does

The protocols that define agent communication today — MCP, A2A, and agents.txt — explicitly scope out trust. When an agent executes a financial transaction, books travel, or shares medical records with a third-party service, no infrastructure exists to answer the foundational question:
Can this service be trusted?
AgentLedger is a three-component infrastructure layer that sits above existing communication protocols and below orchestration frameworks — filling the trust gap that no existing protocol addresses.

Manifest Registry

Universal capability ontology and semantic discovery API. DNS + App Store + NPM, built agent-first.

Trust Ledger

Blockchain-anchored attestation records. Immutable, cross-registry, cryptographically verifiable.

Audit Chain

Tamper-proof action logs enabling liability attribution for autonomous agent transactions.

The scale of the problem

The autonomous agent web is fragmenting faster than any standards body can respond. The numbers below reflect the state of agent infrastructure as of Q1 2026.

Agents registered104,000+ across 15+ registries
IETF discovery drafts10+ competing, no converged standard

Why now

The standards landscape is at a critical inflection point. Domain-specific registries are forming independently — Google UCP for commerce, IAB AAMP for advertising, Huawei A2A-T for telecom. Each uses incompatible trust models. The window to establish a neutral, open interoperability layer is measured in months, not years.
