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, model orchestration frameworks, or application-level workflows. Instead, it provides \texttt{did:oan}-based resource identity, governance-backed admission, Registrar-assisted onboarding, Root-verified package publication, authorization-aware Discovery, Root-issued infrastructure authorization VCs, and signed trusted invocation. The architectural center of OAN is the combination of federated governance, resource identity, and trusted Discovery, rather than a single directory or naming service. This white paper explains the motivation, architecture, roles, governance model, relationship with MCP, A2A, and ANP, deployment patterns, cooperation model, on-chain governance layer, prototype status, performance profile, and roadmap of OAN.
Abstract:This yellow paper describes the technical architecture of OpenAgenet / OAN. OAN is a protocol-neutral trust layer for open Agent interconnection and discoverable AI resource products. It specifies the role architecture, \texttt{did:oan} identity objects, registration workflow, governance-backed Root lifecycle enforcement, Root-verified package model, authorization-aware Discovery, Root-issued infrastructure authorization VCs, signed trusted invocation, verification requirements, state transitions, security properties, implementation boundaries, and deployment considerations. The design is intended to support heterogeneous Agent frameworks and interaction protocols, including MCP, A2A, ANP-like systems, domain-specific Agent protocols, Skills, MCP Servers, and Tool/API resources. OAN does not define the entire business conversation among Agents or the native protocol of every resource; it defines how resource identities become admissible, discoverable, verifiable, and safe to approach before protocol-specific interaction begins.
Abstract:As the ecosystem of Large Language Model (LLM)-based agents expands rapidly, efficient and accurate Agent Discovery becomes a critical bottleneck for large-scale multi-agent collaboration. Existing approaches typically face a dichotomy: either relying on heavy-weight LLMs for intent parsing, leading to prohibitive latency (often exceeding 30 seconds), or using monolithic vector retrieval that sacrifices semantic precision for speed. To bridge this gap, we propose \textbf{GRAIL} (Granular Resonance-based Agent/AI Link), a novel framework achieving sub-400ms discovery latency without compromising accuracy. GRAIL introduces three key innovations: (1) \textbf{SLM-Enhanced Prediction}, replacing the generalized LLM parser with a specialized, fine-tuned Small Language Model (SLM) for millisecond-level capability tag prediction; (2) \textbf{Pseudo-Document Expansion}, augmenting agent descriptions with synthetic queries to enhance semantic density for robust dense retrieval; and (3) \textbf{MaxSim Resonance}, a fine-grained matching mechanism computing maximum similarity between user queries and discrete agent usage examples, effectively mitigating semantic dilution. Validated on \textbf{AgentTaxo-9K}, our new large-scale dataset of 9,240 agents, GRAIL reduces end-to-end discovery latency by over \textbf{79$\times$} compared to LLM-parsing baselines, while significantly outperforming traditional vector search in Recall@10. This framework offers a scalable, industrial-grade solution for the real-time ``Internet of Agents."
Abstract:Traditional network architectures suffer from severe protocol ossification and structural fragility due to their reliance on static, human-defined rules that fail to adapt to the emergent edge cases and probabilistic reasoning of modern autonomous agents. To address these limitations, this paper proposes DarwinNet, a bio-inspired, self-evolving network architecture that transitions communication protocols from a \textit{design-time} static paradigm to a \textit{runtime} growth paradigm. DarwinNet utilizes a tri-layered framework-comprising an immutable physical anchor (L0), a WebAssembly-based fluid cortex (L1), and an LLM-driven Darwin cortex (L2)-to synthesize high-level business intents into executable bytecode through a dual-loop \textit{Intent-to-Bytecode} (I2B) mechanism. We introduce the Protocol Solidification Index (PSI) to quantify the evolutionary maturity of the system as it collapses from high-latency intelligent reasoning (Slow Thinking) toward near-native execution (Fast Thinking). Validated through a reliability growth framework based on the Crow-AMSAA model, experimental results demonstrate that DarwinNet achieves anti-fragility by treating environmental anomalies as catalysts for autonomous evolution. Our findings confirm that DarwinNet can effectively converge toward physical performance limits while ensuring endogenous security through zero-trust sandboxing, providing a viable path for the next generation of intelligent, self-optimizing networks.
