arXiv:2606.03161v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: OpenAgenet, abbreviated as OAN, is an open infrastructure project for trusted Agent interconnection. It addresses a problem that becomes visible when Agents move from isolated applications into open, multi-operator networks: before an Agent can safely discover, select, and invoke another Agent, it needs a way to verify identity provenance, governance state, discovery authorization, freshness, and pre-connection trust evidence. OAN is designed as a protocol-neutral trust layer. It does not replace Agent interaction protocols, tool protocols, mod
As AI agents move from isolated applications to interconnected networks, the need for robust trust and verification mechanisms becomes critical to prevent system failures and security breaches.
A trusted agent interconnection infrastructure like OAN is crucial for the safe and scalable deployment of autonomous AI, impacting economic workflows and the integrity of digital interactions.
The shift towards open, multi-operator agent networks necessitates new layers of trust, identity, and governance, moving beyond simple API interactions to verified agent-to-agent communication.
