Foundation Protocol: A Coordination Layer for Agentic Society

A recent publication on arXiv presents the Foundation Protocol (FP), a coordination layer that prioritizes graph structures, tailored for the developing human-AI society. As autonomous agents transition from mere tools to integral components of social infrastructure, the focus shifts from enhancing model capabilities to improving coordination. FP integrates diverse entities—agents, resources, humans, organizations, and institutions—facilitating collaborative efforts and multi-party organization based on events. It includes economic elements for metering, receipts, and settlements, while also emphasizing policy, provenance, and audit as essential factors. Rather than replacing existing protocols, FP aims to complement and connect them, fostering dependable relationships, multi-agent collaboration, value exchange, and accountability in real-world contexts. The paper can be found on arXiv with the identifier 2605.23218.
