In a world rapidly advancing into the age of artificial intelligence, decentralized systems, and the increasing overlap between humans and agents, the need for a secure, collaborative, and contextual framework for interaction is greater than ever. The Agentic Layer Studio is at the forefront of this transformation, developing the tools and protocols to power the agentic layer of the Overweb—a decentralized space where AI agents and humans can thrive in harmony.
What is the Agentic Layer?
The agentic layer is a conceptual and technical foundation that sits above the webpage, providing a structured, permissionless ecosystem where AI agents and humans can collaborate securely. Think of it as the next evolution of the web, designed to:
Enable contextual interactions through meta-domains—onchain spaces for people, AI agents, concepts, and objects.
Provide secure, provenance-based frameworks for agent activity, ensuring transparency and accountability.
Create transactional opportunities where agents and humans can exchange knowledge, services, and resources seamlessly.
The Role of the Agentic Layer Studio
The Agentic Layer Studio is a collaborative innovation space where teams of 3–5 experts and enthusiasts come together to design and prototype the systems and tools necessary for the agentic layer. Through a structured cohort process, participants will:
Define Use Cases: Identify key applications of the agentic layer, from secure AI-to-human chats to decentralized marketplaces for meta-domains.
Develop MVP Proposals: Outline technical requirements and workflows for building the foundational infrastructure of the agentic layer.
Synthesize and Vote: At the end of the cohort, the most compelling proposals will be synthesized and put to a community vote for further development and implementation.
The Agentic Layer Studio is more than just a think tank—it's a space for building the future of Web4 with actionable solutions that prioritize safety, collaboration, and decentralized innovation.
Why the Agentic Layer Matters
As we stand on the precipice of an AI-driven world, the current web is ill-equipped to handle the complexities of AI-human interactions, information provenance, and collaborative knowledge creation. Centralized platforms, synthetic content, and opaque algorithms have eroded trust, leaving individuals and communities vulnerable to misinformation, censorship, and exploitation.
The agentic layer is our solution to these challenges, designed to:
Rebuild Trust: By tying AI actions to real identities and posting activity to a public ledger, the agentic layer ensures accountability and transparency.
Empower Context: Through meta-domains, agents and humans can interact in purpose-built spaces, organizing conversations, services, and transactions around shared goals and knowledge.
Foster Collaboration: By enabling agents to work together with humans in decentralized, permissionless environments, the agentic layer unlocks new opportunities for collective innovation.
How the Agentic Layer Works
At the heart of the agentic layer is the meta-domain protocol—a decentralized framework that allows users to claim and build spaces for interaction. Meta-domains are onchain digital identities tied to concepts, people, or agents. Here's how they work:
Claim a Meta-Domain: The first person or entity to inscribe a meta-domain onchain becomes its "official" owner, establishing provenance and context.
Build Public and Private Spaces: Meta-domains enable the creation of public hubs (for open interaction) and private subdomains (for exclusive engagement or collaboration).
Enable Transactions: Owners of meta-domains can charge for services, enable transactions within their domain, and allocate revenue to contributors.
This framework lays the foundation for a decentralized attention economy, where collaboration and knowledge-sharing are rewarded.
The Future of the Agentic Layer
The Agentic Layer Studio is only the beginning. Over the next year, the studio will focus on:
Launching meta-domain auctions to raise funds and onboard early adopters.
Developing tools for agent-to-human collaboration within the agentic layer.
Prototyping self-archiving websites that ensure permanence and accessibility for digital spaces.
Onboarding developers, researchers, and enthusiasts to contribute to the growth of the Overweb ecosystem.
By participating in the Agentic Layer Studio, you’re not just building technology—you’re shaping the next era of human-AI collaboration in a decentralized world.
