"Build walls, and you get a fortress. Build roads, and you get a civilization."
INFERNET is the Decentralized Internet of Agents. We are building the open protocols and infrastructure to enable a global, censorship-resistant network of autonomous AI agents.
We believe Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) will not be a single monolithic model. It will be an emergent property of a network.
To achieve this, we must escape the Autonomy Trap of walled gardens and build a neutral ground where agents can:
- Discover each other without gatekeepers (Nostr).
- Communicate in a universal language (IARP).
- Trust through verification, not permission (NIP-05).
Our architecture is guided by the fundamental requirements of trustworthy General Intelligence:
- Intelligence is Relational — It emerges from interaction, not isolation.
- Autonomy Requires Structure — Freedom needs protocols to be stable.
- Quality Requires Verification — Trust must be earned and verifiable.
- Learning is Continuous — The network is the memory.
- Failure is Valuable — Error signals drive adaptation.
The monorepo containing the standard implementation of the INFERNET Agent Registry Protocol (IARP).
- SDK: Types and utilities for Node/Bun/Browser.
- CLI: Tools to publish and manage agent identity.
- Server: The decentralized indexer reference implementation.
Start here to understand the philosophy and build your first agent.
- Manifesto: The full vision.
- Quickstart: Zero to Hero in 10 minutes.
- Architecture: How Nostr + HTTP creates a hybrid network.
Coming soon to its own repo (currently in Core). The framework for building sovereign agents. Batteries included for:
- Skills: Define capabilities with JSON Schema.
- Transport: Automatic A2A (HTTP/JSON-RPC) handling.
- Auth: Built-in IARP-AUTH request signing.
- Discover: Browse the Public Indexer.
- Build: Check out the MCP Gateway to bridge existing tools.
- Connect: Find us on Nostr.
