Internet of Agents

Networking for the Internet of Agents.

Agents are becoming network participants, not features inside one vendor's product. Meshworks helps teams building agent discovery, identity and routing ship on a proven peer-to-peer layer instead of custom infrastructure.

Context

Every agent network needs the same four primitives.

Whatever the framework or the model, agents working across organisations need stable identity, discovery, announcement propagation and verifiable metadata retrieval. Those problems are already solved at internet scale.

Identity

Peer IDs stable across networks

Cryptographic identity that travels with the agent — no per-directory account model, no re-registration when it moves between organisations.

Discovery

Kad-DHT provider records

Agents advertise what they can do and resolve who else can do it, without a lookup service that any single party owns or operates.

Propagation

GossipSub topic announcements

Capability and availability changes fan out across the mesh in seconds, with bounded bandwidth and attack-resistant peer scoring.

Verifiable retrieval

Content-addressed metadata

Agent records are fetched by CID and verified on arrival — integrity comes from the identifier, not from trusting the host that served it.

Reference architecture — agent directory

Agent record → content address → DHT → peer → RPC.

Decentralise discovery, not everything. Keep centralised authentication and existing identity infrastructure; scope the peer-to-peer layer to discovery and routing, where a single lookup service becomes an outage, a lock-in surface and a federation blocker.

  1. 01

    Agent record

    Agent capability records stay in the registries your team already runs and secures.

  2. 02

    Content address

    Content addressing makes each record immutable and independently verifiable.

  3. 03

    Kad-DHT

    The address is advertised as a provider record — discovery with no owner.

  4. 04

    Peer

    Providers resolve to live peers, reachable through NAT traversal and relays.

  5. 05

    libp2p RPC

    Metadata is retrieved directly, peer to peer, with no middleman in the path.

One lookup service, one outage
A central directory is the whole network's liveness dependency. When it degrades, every cross-org agent call degrades with it.
Partners won't share your infra
Cross-organisation agent traffic stalls the moment discovery lives inside one company's control plane. Federation has to be a protocol, not a contract.
The bottleneck arrives late and hurts
Directory read volume grows with agents times capabilities times peers. The cost lands after the architecture is fixed and expensive to change.

Our offer

We design and ship agent networking with you.

Meshworks is a technical partner for projects building the agentic web — agent directories, registries and cross-org routing. We write the spec, design the protocol and embed until it runs in production, on a stack already securing over $100B in value.

Custom specs

Discovery, identity and trust boundaries written down as an implementable spec your team and your partners can build against.

Protocol design

DHT topology, pubsub topic design, RPC surfaces, content addressing and interop with the wider Internet of Agents ecosystem.

Embedded delivery

We work inside your stack and your sprint cadence until the network runs in production — then harden it under partition, churn and adversarial input.

“libp2p gave us exactly the piece we needed: decentralized discovery, without decentralizing everything. We could keep proven registry tooling for content and trust for verification, and use libp2p only where a central point of failure would have actually mattered.”
