Infoblox and GoDaddy said they are supporting complementary open standards intended to help AI agents identify, discover and verify one another across the open web. The effort centers on DNS-based mechanisms for publishing and validating agent information, which is relevant as agents begin to operate across websites, applications and enterprise environments.

Infoblox is advancing DNS for AI Discovery (DNS-AID) and GoDaddy is helping develop Agent Name Service (ANS). The companies described the work as complementary and developed in community standards bodies, with the goal of enabling independent implementations and avoiding single- or concentrated-vendor control over how agents are named, discovered and verified.

DNS-AID is an open standard currently advancing as an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) draft and open-source software. It defines how AI agents can publish discoverable metadata using existing DNS record types, including RFC 9460 Service Bindings (SVCB), DNS-SD service discovery, Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC), and DNS-based Authentication of Named Entities (DANE). It uses DNS infrastructure and is not owned by any company.

ANS is an open standard and implementation for AI agent identity, naming and verification, built on DNS and public key infrastructure (PKI). GoDaddy is a co-author of the ANS IETF draft and a contributor to its open-source implementation, and the companies said ANS is designed for agent operators to use domain names they already own. “Adopters of the Agent Name Service open standard leverages the only infrastructure that exists today that operates at the scale and speed of the global internet—Domain Name Service. We support Infoblox’s work on DNS-AID and believe open standards for identity, discovery and verification will be critical as agents become part of everyday digital experiences,” said Jared Sine, chief strategy and legal officer at GoDaddy. “The lesson we learned from the 1970s to 1980s is simple: no single entity could or should run the phonebook of the internet for everyone,” said Wei Chen, CLO, EVP, Regulatory Strategy at Infoblox.
