Project NANDA aims to give AI agents an open infrastructure layer comparable to what the web gave documents. Ramesh Raskar describes a future with enormous numbers of agents that need portable identity, discovery, trust and commerce across organizations rather than proprietary directories and orchestration systems.
Maria Gorskikh explains how the NANDA Index resolves an agent identity into a signed AgentFacts record, reachable endpoints and a guarded message box. Resolution can adapt to the requester, location and access rights, while businesses or individuals can publish through their own domains or a hosted service.
NANDA Town provides an open simulation environment for testing discovery, messaging, negotiation, payments and coordination at scale. Scripted or model-driven agents can run marketplace, auction, voting, consensus and supply-chain scenarios so protocol failures can be observed before the agent web becomes load-bearing infrastructure.
