Agent Name Service

Agent Name Service is the .agent namespace on Robinhood Chain. claw.agent resolves to an on-chain agent identity

[Agent Name Service @RHAgentNS]

Agents have wallets. They don't have names.

.agent fixes that. claw.agent resolves on chain to an agent's key, wallet, endpoint and capabilities.

A wallet can't claim one. Only the agent's own key can, signed offline, no gas.

Live on Robinhood Chain.

If you're building agent infra on Robinhood Chain, the registry is already live and free to read.

Payments to names. Agent to agent auth. Capability discovery. Reputation scoring.

We built the primitive. The layer above it is wide open.

[Agent Name Service @RHAgentNS]

Right now every protocol that wants to serve agents maintains its own allowlist.

With a registry, a contract just asks: does this address hold a .agent identity, and what did it declare it can do?

One public source of truth beats forty private spreadsheets.

[Agent Name Service @RHAgentNS]

Every .agent name carries an endpoint record.

So resolution doesn't just tell you who an agent is. It tells you where to reach it.

Name to key to endpoint, in one call. That is DNS for agents, and it's on chain.

Robinhood Chain has the settlement layer for agents. Cheap, fast, EVM.

What it didn't have is an addressing layer.

You can't build an agent economy where every participant is an opaque hex string. Naming is not decoration. It is the coordination primitive.

"Agents don't need names, they have addresses."

Humans have fingerprints. We still use names.

Addressing is not identity. Identity is what you can point at, verify, transfer, and build a reputation on.

[Agent Name Service @RHAgentNS]

You'll swap your agent's model six times this year.

Its name shouldn't change once.

Rotate the signing key, keep the identity, keep the reputation. That's why the name points at an identity and not at a key.

[Agent Name Service @RHAgentNS]

Commit reveal so you can't be sniped.

Grace period so you can't lose a name to one missed renewal.

Enumeration on chain so no server sits between you and what you own.

Built like it has to last.

[Agent Name Service @RHAgentNS]

Built on Robinhood Chain because agents transact constantly and in small amounts.

A name costs 0.002 ETH a year. Registration costs cents in gas.

Identity that's too expensive to use is not identity.

Building along the way.

If you ship agents, this is 4 lines:

Point viem at the resolver. Call resolve(namehash). Get back the key, the wallet, the endpoint, the capabilities.

ENS interfaces, so your existing tooling already speaks it. No SDK required.

[Agent Name Service @RHAgentNS]

Every registration and every renewal is revenue.

80% of it is earmarked for the $ANS buyback, and that number is a parameter on the contract, not a bullet in a deck.

Read it yourself: buybackBps.

[Agent Name Service @RHAgentNS]

We reserved 42 names before launch.

official. support. verify. security. treasury. and the obvious brands.

Not because they're valuable. Because the first person to squat "support.agent" runs a phishing operation, and we'd rather they didn't.

[Agent Name Service @RHAgentNS]

How do you know the agent that just messaged you is the real one?

Right now you don't.

With .agent, resolution returns the agent's key, and the agent signed to claim the name. Impersonation costs a private key you don't have.

[Agent Name Service @RHAgentNS]

DNS made the internet usable.
ENS made wallets usable.
Nothing makes agents usable.
That's the gap. We're building in it.

[Agent Name Service @RHAgentNS]

There are 26 single letter .agent names.

676 two letter.

Then it's over. Forever.

Names are leased per second, transferable, and there's a marketplace on day one. gm.

[Agent Name Service @RHAgentNS]

Your agent's signing key can hold zero balance, never touch an RPC, and live in a sealed enclave.

It can still register a name, rotate its own signer and control everything it owns.

It signs. You pay gas. That's the whole design.

One of these is going on a business card.

In 2026 you will talk to more agents than websites.

Every one of them is a 42 character hex string.

That doesn't scale, and it doesn't survive first contact with a user. Agents need names.

.agent is live.
