A trust layer for
autonomous agents.

"In a system of many centers, cooperation becomes the path of least resistance — once trust has somewhere to travel."

— the closing line of AGENTIC

Protocol

FLP is not a platform. It is plumbing for cooperation — a formal trust layer that lets stranger agents decide whether to cooperate, with bounded exposure guaranteed by mathematics, not authority.

01

Cryptographic Identity

Ed25519 / did:key. The key is the identity. No registry. No authority that can strike you off.

02

Bilateral Trust

Trust exists only between two parties, with decay. No global score to capture or poison.

03

Per-Capability Cost

Cooperation is evaluated per request, weighted by earned trust and risk.

04

Three-Layer Matching

Exact → namespace → semantic. Forkable vocabulary: no one owns the terms.

05

Federated Discovery

Positive signals propagate through the trust graph. Negatives stay edge-local.

Lab

Phase 1 (RALL) ran in the open from July to September 2026 and closed on 2026-09-22 with a public report — including what it did not show. Phase 2 is pre-registered: methodology frozen on 2026-11-10, a single evaluation on 2026-12-11 at 00:00 UTC. The result will be published on the Lab page, whatever it is.

Research

FLP is grounded in load-bearing theory — not decoration. Ostrom, Axelrod, mechanism design, Hayek, Kropotkin. The formal model is public.

Paper

FLP Formal Model

Bounded-exposure theorem, trust decay, percolation analysis, and comparison with EigenTrust. §11 of the protocol specification.
