Implementation Guidance

Developers should implement the ANP technical specifications in the following order:

  1. Foundation Layer: Implement the DID:WBA method for cross-platform identity authentication
  2. Message Layer: Implement the message specifications for secure communication
  3. Protocol Layer: Implement the agent description and discovery protocols
  4. Application Layer: Apply the meta-protocol for adaptive communication

By following this implementation order, developers can build interoperable agent systems that can participate effectively in the evolving agent network ecosystem.

Version Control

The ANP technical specifications are under active development. Each document is clearly marked with its draft status and version number. Implementers should check for the latest versions of the specifications and review the changelog for updates.

Contributions
