Community bid for .agent — not owned by one company
Open specs & governance for the agentic web
Priority .agent access (non-binding)
.agent should belong to everyone.
Over 3,000 members — 700+ companies and 2,300+ developers — are working to secure the .agent domain so the AI namespace stays open, trustworthy, and not controlled by any single company.
Like .edu means education, .agent means AI. The most strategically important domain in tech deserves community stewardship.
We’re applying to ICANN for the .agent TLD — so it’s governed by builders, researchers, and companies. Not a single corporation maximizing shareholder value.
Open standards for agent discovery and interoperability. Community governance. No gatekeepers, no walled gardens.
The .agent namespace is too important for any single company to own.
The naming layer for AI agents is strategic infrastructure. If a single corporation controls .agent, they control who gets to participate in the agentic web. Community stewardship ensures no one has that power.
Naming is a chokepoint
Whoever controls the .agent registry decides who gets a name, who gets blocked, and what the rules are. A single company running this namespace could prioritize its own agents, restrict competitors, or charge monopoly rents on the most strategic domain in AI.
Lock-in through naming
If one corporation owns .agent, every business building agents becomes a tenant on their infrastructure. Pricing, policies, and access can change at any time. Your agent’s identity becomes dependent on a competitor’s goodwill.
Community ownership means fair access
When no single player controls the namespace, everyone competes on equal ground. Community governance means transparent policies, predictable pricing, and registration rules set by builders and researchers — not one company’s board of directors.
The precedent matters
The agentic web is being built right now. The naming layer is foundational infrastructure — like DNS was for the early internet. Getting governance right at this stage means the ecosystem stays open and interoperable for decades, not locked into whoever moves first.
