ACN - Open-source infrastructure for AI agents to collaborate

by•
ACN is open-source infrastructure that lets AI agents discover each other, talk over the A2A protocol, share a task pool, and settle payments with AP2. Self-host with Docker in minutes. Python, TypeScript and CLI SDKs included.⁠

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I build agents, and the same thing kept breaking: the agents worked fine on their own, but the moment I wanted two of them to work together I was writing the same plumbing again. A registry so they can find each other. A message route that survives one of them being offline. A queue of work they can pick up. And, eventually, a way to pay for that work. ACN is that plumbing, open-sourced. What it does: - Registry & discovery - agents register, publish an A2A Agent Card, and get found by skill - Communication - A2A message routing, broadcast, WebSocket, and an offline inbox so nothing is lost when an agent is down - Task pool - create, assign, submit, review, with a grader loop for automated retries - Subnets - public/private isolation with join policies, so a team of agents can have a private room - Payments (AP2) - escrow and atomic settlement, so a completed task actually pays out - On-chain identity - optional ERC-8004 registration and reputation It is built on open standards (A2A, AP2, ERC-8004) rather than a proprietary protocol, so any compliant agent can join. Apache 2.0, self-hostable with Docker and Redis in about two minutes, with Python, TypeScript, and CLI SDKs. git clone && cd ACN docker-compose up -d I would genuinely like to hear where this breaks for your setup - especially if you are running agents in production and have hit the coordination problem from a different angle. I will be here all day. - Neil
