Agentic Web@Neurips with ProjectNanda and MIT Reseachers
About NANDA
NANDA (Networked AI Agents in Decentralized Architecture) which originated at MIT aims to dismantle the four critical choke points within this ecosystem's infrastructure by focusing on consensus driven innovation: 'DNS', 'CA', 'Orchestration', and 'Attestation'.
NANDA is pioneering the foundational infrastructure for the Internet of AI Agents — enabling autonomous systems to interact, transact, and collaborate seamlessly.
NANDA employs a three-pronged approach: (i) Technology: Building technology, standards, and reference implementations through a collective of top minds. (ii) Social Mission: Working to maintain an open Agentic Web for innovators while ensuring safety for vulnerable populations. (iii) Venture Ecosystem: Fostering a wide coalition of founders and investors.
NANDA's development draws on proven MIT research in AutoML, split learning, privacy-preserving architectures, and decentralized coordination. Early partners in the coalition gain preferential access to emerging standards, reference implementations, and the academic-industry consortium that will influence the emerging frameworks globally.
