SF Kickoff — .agent, trust & the agentic web.

June 26, 2026 · /goal cup · agentcommunity.org

Hi, I'm Balazs.

Founder, Agent Community.

+ the story

This whole thing started because a domain didn't exist.

02The Itch

cv.ai resume.io cv.agent

+ the catch

Turns out .agent isn't a TLD. Yet.

03The Opening

Can .agent be won?

+ the bylaw

Yes — the Community Application bylaw. Score 12 of 16 and .agent belongs to the community, not the highest bidder.

04First Sign

Feb 13, 2025 — Tom Dörr tweeted it.

+ the numbers

The first sign anyone was interested. agentdomain.xyz was barely a landing page.

05The Build

So what does CPE actually need?

+ the grind

Had to figure that out the hard way. First pages. Picked a DB vibe with Cursor. Tested every model that shipped.

06AID

Where is an agent's endpoint?

+ the frustration

I was copy-pasting "MCP endpoint info" out of random docs. That's not discovery.

07AID v2

aid.agentcommunity.org

+ what it does

DNS-based 0th-hop discovery. Start from a domain, find the endpoint. It's live.

08Growth

Then: guerrilla everything.

+ how

DMs, replies, hallways. Anyone who'd listen.

09Recognition

It started to land.

+ slowly

Slowly. Then less slowly.

10AgentBrief

I'm on X 24/7. I still read AgentBrief.

+ what it is

news.agentcommunity.org — a daily curated snapshot of the agentic web.

11The Grind

For a year, almost nothing happened.

+ the numbers

February 2025: 1,456 signups. Then thirteen months crawling to 2,600. Many questions. Many doubts.

Then real builders showed up.

+ the catch

Real agent companies — not the logos you'd imagine. Community members · pending verification.

13Everything Broke

Then Brave tweeted. And everything broke.

+ what happened

March 24, 2026. A lot of companies reshared — twitter-famous for 4–5 days. Servers fell over. The database held. You're about to see those rows.

14The Directory

The Agentic Web.

+ the table

Every member, as a periodic table. 760 domain-specific agents alone.

15Brave

Brave gave us the whole browser. 24 hours. Globally.

+ the takeover

+ how far

122 countries.

17Posters

Every company gets a poster.

+ yours

agentcommunity.org/m/amp/poster — share yours.

+ the shape of it

Two engines: one tweet, one browser. Both Brave.

20The Vision

A trusted namespace.

+ meaning

Governed — with eligibility, and requirements for accountability. The .edu of the agentic web.

21The Vision

Accountability for agents.

22The Vision

An agent is water.

+ what stays fixed

The model, the harness, the environment, the context — all change. The entity behind it and the endpoint it speaks through stay constant. That's what we verify.

23The Vision

Trustworthiness — where it actually matters.

24The Vision

The web is about to get loud.

+ why it matters

Humans, bots, agents — swarming at a scale today's internet wasn't built for. Trust stops being optional.

25Just Launched

+ what it is
