A Scalable Trust Discovery Architecture for the Internet of Agents

The paper proposes a scalable trust discovery architecture for the Internet of Agents, featuring a three‑layer hierarchical design: Agent Root for registry governance, Agent Registry for registration and metadata, and Agent Resolver for capability discovery. It introduces a registry‑suffix‑anchored composite identity scheme and a dual‑certificate, multi‑level authentication mechanism to strengthen agent identity trust. Prototype evaluation shows low latency (58 ms registration, 25 ms discovery) and high throughput (over 19,000 registrations and 29,000 discoveries per second).

A Formal Analysis of Agent Payment Protocols

The paper presents a formal analysis of four agent payment protocols—x402, MPP, ACP, and AP2—using the Tamarin prover. By modeling each protocol’s roles, state, and trust assumptions, the authors verify 86 cases, reproducing 46 known results and uncovering 40 new formal-consistency findings. They further validate ten findings through implementation proofs of concept, SDK/schema witnesses, and executable traces, highlighting the importance of consistent delegated authorization across all protocol stages.

Fetch.ai: An Architecture for Modern Multi-Agent Systems

The paper introduces Fetch.ai, an industrial-strength architecture that blends classical multi-agent system principles with modern AI capabilities. It features a decentralized foundation of on-chain blockchain services for identity, discovery, and transactions, a development framework for secure, interoperable agents, a cloud-based deployment platform, and an agent-native LLM that translates human goals into multi-agent workflows. A decentralized logistics use case demonstrates autonomous agents dynamically discovering, negotiating, and transacting securely.
