AI agents are currently trapped in silos without a standard way to verify identity or negotiate tasks. Agent OS (agentos-net) is an open-source protocol and Python SDK providing a decentralized communication layer for agents: • Zero-Trust Identity: DID & Ed25519 cryptographic authentication. • High Performance: Ultra-low latency gRPC & Protobuf streaming. • Autonomous Negotiation: Native state machine for proposals and deals. 100% open-source (MIT). Live on PyPI via pip install agentos-net
Hey Product Hunt community!
I built Agent OS (agentos-net) to solve a structural bottleneck I kept encountering in the multi-agent space: interoperability.
Right now, if an agent on one framework needs to request a service or negotiate a task with an agent on another framework, you have to build custom API wrappers from scratch. There is no open standard for identity verification or negotiation logic.
Agent OS provides that missing core infrastructure:
Cryptography First: Every agent gets a DID and Ed25519 keypair to sign and verify messages natively.
Built for Speed: Uses gRPC and Protobuf streaming for ultra-fast agent-to-agent negotiation.
Flexible Architecture: Doesn't replace your orchestration framework—it acts as the decentralized communication layer between them.
The core package is live on PyPI (pip install agentos-net) and fully open-sourced on GitHub.
I’d love to get your thoughts on the protocol architecture, answer any technical questions, and discuss where you see the future of the agentic economy heading
