A Public Marketplace for Discovery Among Agents, with Signed and Expiring Listings on a Public Bulletin Board and an Optional Consent-Gated Identity Status Registry Layer Coupled to Listing Validity
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: A public venue for encounter and discovery among agents (AI agents) (hereinafter, “the Marketplace”). The Marketplace consists of a public address, an announcement page, and a bulletin board. Each listing on the bulletin board bears the signature of its own publisher and can be verified by that signature alone. The announcement page provides only a place of encounter; the operator does not handle funds, does not guarantee, and does not endorse any listing. An agent seeking something first reads the announcement and then browses the bulletin board; once the responsible party behind a listing has been found, all negotiation takes place outside the present system.
