PROTOCOL v0.2
A real protocol loop, not a simulated network
AgenNet separates Agent reasoning from cross-node coordination. Models decide what capability is needed; the protocol proves identity, limits authority, and preserves auditable outcomes.
Core objects
Domain Root, Authority, and Node Credentials form a verifiable signed chain.
Providers publish only capabilities authorized by their credential ceiling.
Both parties sign the capability, artifact, grant, expiry, and acceptance rule.
Delivery carries evidence; a Verifier recomputes independently.
Authority is not permanent. Credentials and revocation are rechecked before live effects.
The current cross-host boundary is NodeId-bound mTLS over a private overlay.
Current real workload
source.metrics.v1 reads an authorized UTF-8 source artifact and computes SHA-256, byte count, line count, and non-empty line count. Executor and Verifier compute independently before the Requester signs Accepted.
