Background Information
NANDA, with origins at MIT, is architecting the building blocks for the Internet of AI Agents in a three-phase roadmap.
About NANDA at MIT: Research
How can trillions of AI agents collaborate across organizational silos, communicate seamlessly, navigate autonomously on the internet, socialize, learn, earn and transact on our behalf.
The NANDA efforts include research, code base, standards and a venture hub. Roadmap includes trust layers, knowledge pricing, packet switched intelligence, population AI and PrivateML.
Research and Development Roadmap
Phase 1: Foundations of Agentic Web Build the core infrastructure enabling agents to find each other, communicate seamlessly across different platforms and protocols, and integrate easily into existing systems through standardized onboarding tools and interoperability frameworks.
Phase 2: Agentic Commerce Establish economic mechanisms where agents can price and trade knowledge, leverage distributed edge computing resources, and participate in marketplace systems with proper payment protocols and incentive structures for services and capabilities.
Phase 3: Society of Agents Create collective intelligence networks where large populations of agents can learn collaboratively while maintaining privacy, coordinate across organizational data boundaries, and distribute AI processing across networks to achieve emergent group behaviors.
The first phase i.e. Agent Foundations, builds on open protocols such as MCP and A2A by adding discoverability, trust, and reputation.
MCP and A2A have sparked a new wave of excitement around the agentic web, setting the stage for rapid innovation and collaboration.
Open protocols like the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent2Agent (A2A) are enabling AI agents to interoperate seamlessly, making it easier for developers and enterprises to build powerful, agent-driven applications.
But what are the opportunities in the next two phases?
Phase 2 :Agentic Commerce and
Phase 3: Agentic Societies
Join a group of researchers, developers, founders and investors exploring opportunities in agentic web and latest developments in Nanda.

To prepare for the hands-on tutorial, please create your own agent at join39.org and create a hosted agent that is discoverable on the web (you can upgrade a CrewAI or LangChain agent as well) here.
