Meet the founder and advisors behind the .agent Community — the community-backed effort applying for the .agent top-level domain through ICANN.
Balázs Nemethi
Founder, .agent Community
Balázs Nemethi is a Hungarian technologist and entrepreneur working at the intersection of internet infrastructure, identity, and applied AI. He is the founder of the .agent Community and the author of AID, a DNS-first standard for agent identity and discovery.
