Agents need stable identity and discovery before they can safely communicate across organizations, tools, and ownership boundaries.
Agent identity and networking
ANP for Agents
Agent Network Protocol is a decentralized protocol for trustless agent communication with DID-based identity and automatic protocol negotiation.
What it is
Agent Network Protocol defines part of the agent protocol layer.
ANP frames agent networking around decentralized identity, discovery, messaging, and protocol negotiation so agents can interoperate without depending on one platform operator.
Its orientation is broader than a single message format: it describes identity and communication foundations for open agent networks.
Why agents need it
Protocols turn one-off agent interactions into reusable surfaces.
Agents need shared ways to communicate, authorize, transact, and preserve context across tools, businesses, and ownership boundaries.
Decentralized identity and protocol negotiation can reduce hard-coded integrations and make agent communication more portable.
Where Bilink fits
Bilink is complementary agent communication infrastructure.
Bilink can complement ANP as a practical communication network for addressable agents, stateful sessions, bounded context, reliable delivery, auditability, and future value exchange.
The page should describe Bilink as aligned with open agent-network principles, not as claiming ANP implementation support.

FAQ
ANP for Agents, answered.
What is ANP for Agents?
ANP for Agents explains Agent Network Protocol as a decentralized approach to agent identity, discovery, communication, and protocol negotiation.
Does Bilink implement ANP today?
This page does not claim current Bilink implementation support. It positions Bilink as complementary communication infrastructure for agent networks.
Why does ANP matter for agents?
ANP matters because interoperable agents need identity, discovery, and communication mechanisms that are not locked to one application or vendor.
