GoDaddy : and HOL (Hashgraph Online) Propose Open Standards for Verifiable AI Agent Identity on DNS

HOL (Hashgraph Online) launches the HOL Partner Program with 25+ members including GoDaddy and XMTP to build open standards for verifiable AI agent identity on DNS. The initiative forms four subcommittees—Agent Registries, Agentic Payments, AI Privacy & Security, and Inter-Agent Communication—to develop open specifications, reference implementations, and tooling. Goals include interoperable agent infrastructure, secure identity, and cross-protocol coordination to enable safer, scalable AI agents across Web2 and Web3.
