Patchwork: Syncing on AI Standards
Everyone’s shipping. But are we syncing?
Across AI, builders are creating new standards for agents, identity, and payments — sometimes solving problems no one else has seen yet, and other times solving the same ones differently.
Dozens of efforts (HCS-14, ERC-8004, x402, FPP, MCP, A2A, Trust Over IP, AGTNCY, and more) are racing ahead. Each is building a vital piece of interoperability for the AI stack.
However, by building in isolation we risk incidental incompatibilities that could complicate or threaten comprehensive interoperability.
This is a community breather — a space to step back, compare notes, and align the patchwork of standards.
The Advanced AI Society is convening a 4-hour working session to:
1️⃣ Map the current standards landscape with lightning updates from leading projects and standards bodies.
2️⃣ Identify overlaps, gaps, and potential collisions.
3️⃣ Prioritize what needs collective focus next — continuity of identity, agent discovery, verifiable payments, registry interoperability, and more.
Agenda - TBC
confirmed presenters so far:
AGNTCY by Cisco at Linux Foundation
HCS-14 by Hashgraph Online at Distributed Trust Linux Foundation (DTLF)
MCP by Anthropic
A2A by Google at Linux Foundation
NANDA by Decentralized AI Lab at MIT Media Lab
Trust Over IP (ToIP) at Distributed Trust Linux Foundation (DTLF)
We are currently developing the event agenda and welcome your input on preferred session topics and discussions. Additionally, we may have opportunities for moderators and speakers.
Who Should Join
