Web3 Quilt RFP

Registries for AI Agents are flourishing, but we now face a bigger question: how do we build the interoperable quilt of registries of AI agents?

How can we design and implement a robust, scalable, and privacy-preserving interoperability layer—a "Registry Quilt"—that connects disparate AI agent registries, allowing them to exchange information and support cross-registry agent interactions?

If Web3 does not solve registry interoperability now, we face:

• Discovery, security and trust gaps — agents cannot reliably verify or discover each other across boundaries
• Privacy failures — unnecessary data exposure and lack of user control
• Innovation bottlenecks — new applications become impossible or impractical
• Ecosystem concentration — risk of a few large players dominating, stifling competition and openness

The Web3 community needs to form a united effort in solving this problem, in concert with Web2. We need to take the first step by demonstrating that we took the initiative as an industry to co-create an interoperable registry system that we can then take to businesses and institutions in Web2 to co-create with them the next layer of the quilt. But we need to move quickly as companies are spinning up AI registries. We have a unique opportunity to shape the future before the window closes, leading to new walled gardens.
