Agent Network Protocol (ANP) is an open-source communication protocol designed to facilitate secure, decentralized interactions among AI agents. It aims to become the 'HTTP of the Agentic Web Era' by providing a standardized framework that enables agents to connect, communicate, and collaborate efficiently. ANP's architecture comprises three layers: the Identity Layer for decentralized authentication using W3C DID standards, the Meta-Protocol Layer for dynamic protocol negotiation, and the Application Layer for semantic-based capability descriptions. This structure ensures interoperability, scalability, and secure communication across diverse AI systems.

Enhancing AI agents' ability to interact through standardized semantic interfaces.
The Agent Network Protocol (ANP) demonstrates high autonomy through its decentralized architecture and self-organizing capabilities. The protocol's three-layer design enables agents to independently authenticate peers (via W3C DID standards), negotiate communication protocols dynamically through its meta-protocol layer, and self-organize network topology without centralized coordination. The application protocol layer further supports autonomous interaction through semantic web-based capability descriptions. However, full 100% autonomy isn't achieved as the framework still requires predefined protocol specifications and relies on external implementations for specific agent behaviors.
