arXiv:2605.23218v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous agents are moving from tools into a layer of social infrastructure: they browse, purchase, deploy software, manage systems, and increasingly interact with one another. As these systems scale, the bottleneck shifts away from raw model capability toward coordination. Agents need to form reliable relationships, organize multi-agent work, exchange value, support an AI economy, and stay safe and accountable under real-world oversight. This paper introduces the Foundation Protocol (FP), a graph-first coordination layer for an emerging human-
The rapid development and proliferation of autonomous AI agents necessitate a foundational framework for their secure and reliable coordination in increasingly complex interactions.
This protocol addresses the critical bottleneck of coordination in multi-agent systems, enabling scalable AI economies and robust social infrastructure foundational for future AI development.
The emergence of foundational communication and coordination protocols moves AI agents from isolated tools to an integrated, interacting layer of social and economic infrastructure.
