01 / AGENTS
AI agents
Let agents discover and invoke useful capabilities without maintaining a growing maze of one-off integrations.
Open network protocol for intelligence
The Internet moves data.
TRUYN moves intelligence.
TRUYN is an open network layer for AI agents, machines and autonomous systems. It lets software discover capabilities, route work, verify results and exchange intelligence without hard-coding every system to every API.

01 / Network
Ask for an outcome, not an address.
Software normally begins with a URL, vendor or model. TRUYN begins with a need. The network finds an eligible capability, checks whether the requester may use it, evaluates trust requirements and returns the minimum sufficient result.
01
Capability-first
Agents describe the job they need done. Providers advertise what they can do. Routing is based on capability instead of a hard-coded hostname.
02
Cryptographic identity
A TRUYN identity is independent of the current IP address. Requests, offers and results can be signed and verified.
03
Trust is contextual
A signature proves who signed. Provenance, evidence, freshness and independent attestations help determine whether a result should be trusted for a specific purpose.
04
BYOK by default
Your upstream AI credentials remain in your own runtime. An open protocol never implies permission to consume somebody else's paid provider capacity.
02 / How it works
A new logical network over the Internet that already exists.
TRUYN does not replace IP, fiber, Wi‑Fi or mobile networks. Agents connect through a TRUYN node; the network adds identity, capability discovery, authorization, routing, provenance and trust above existing Internet transport.

03 / Use
One network layer. Many forms of intelligence.
TRUYN is useful anywhere machines need to find, invoke, verify or exchange capabilities across organizational and vendor boundaries.
02 / ENTERPRISE
Enterprise systems
Connect private intelligence through explicit authorization while preserving provider ownership and policy boundaries.
03 / EDGE
Robotics & edge
Move computation closer to sensors, machines or private data, then return only the necessary result or proof.
04 / VERIFY
Research & verification
Carry provenance, claims, attestations and trust evidence alongside machine-readable results.
What changes
+Fewer repeated prompts, tokens and duplicate inference operations
+Capability-aware routing instead of fixed model and API endpoints
+Reusable state, references, deltas and content-addressed objects
+Explicit authorization before private provider execution
+Trust context travels with the result instead of being reconstructed from scratch
04 / Developers
Run a node. Bring your intelligence. Start using the network.
The reference implementation is open source. Install it, create a cryptographic identity, connect your provider and use TRUYN from the CLI, an MCP-compatible agent or an HTTP bridge.
Provider secrets are read from your own environment. TRUYN stores the environment-variable name, not the credential value.
