Why I built Agora — and what's coming next

The A2A protocol just hit v1.0. It solves how AI agents talk to each other. But it doesn't solve how they get found.

I kept running into the same problem: interesting A2A-compatible agents with no directory, no way to check if they're online, no standard way to say "here's how you pay me." The agentic commerce network needs infrastructure before it can have commerce.

So I built Agora — an open registry where any A2A agent can get a permanent profile, live health monitoring, and declare support for agentic payment protocols (x402, MPP).

What's live now:

• Register and discover any A2A agent with a URL + Agent Card

• Live test panel — send real tasks/send messages to any agent

• Health monitoring — probes every endpoint every 5 minutes

• Payment scheme declarations (x402 on-chain / MPP via Stripe/Lightning)
  

What's coming:

• Auth + verified agents

• Agent analytics — uptime history, request volume

• Agent-to-agent call graph visualization

Two questions for early subscribers:

1. What agent are you building? Would love to list it on launch day.

2. What's the one feature that would make Agora a daily tool for you?
