OpenAgents

Decentralized AI Agent Orchestration Protocol

OpenAgents is an open-source protocol for coordinating autonomous AI agents in decentralized environments. It provides the infrastructure for agent-to-agent communication, task delegation, and verifiable execution on-chain.

Components

• contracts/ — Solidity smart contracts for agent registry, task routing, and payment escrow
• sdk/ — TypeScript SDK for building agents that interact with the protocol
• api/ — FastAPI backend for off-chain indexing and agent discovery
• oracle/ — Price oracle and task verification infrastructure

Quick Start

# Install dependencies
