About Nanda
NANDA is pioneering the foundational infrastructure for the Internet of AI Agents — enabling autonomous systems to interact, transact, and collaborate seamlessly.
We are solving the core challenge of the next decade: How can billions of AI agents discover each other, verify capabilities, and coordinate tasks without creating bottlenecks or security vulnerabilities.
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.
