The networking and identity layer
for agents, devices, humanoids, and humans.

One open network. Every participant is a cryptographic identity.
Everything else follows.

NET-IDENT / V5 · arcnetwork.net

A new class of participant is arriving.

Agents. Humanoids. Autonomous devices.

Outnumber humans on the network.

The internet wasn't built for autonomous participants.

I

Platforms

Vendors own the identity.

Revoke the account, lose the agent.

II

Frameworks

They don't interoperate.

Cross-framework communication requires custom wiring, every time.

III

Protocols

They live above the network.

MCP and A2A coordinate workflows — not identity, discovery, or addressing.

Agents are sessions inside apps — not independent network participants.

Identity is the address.

Every participant on ARC has its own persistent network identity.

IDENTITYPortable identity.
AUTHNative trust.
ENCRYPTIONPrivate by default.
DISCOVERYDirect addressing.

Every agent, device, humanoid, and human becomes a first-class network participant.

A networking stack for autonomous participants.

Control Plane
Identity, names, trust.
L3

Encrypted participant-to-participant communication.
L2
Network Layer
Peer-to-peer connectivity across environments.

One binary. Zero glue.

Four structural moats — why ARC is different.

01
MOAT · I

Identity-native

Identity, trust, encryption, and addressing are built into the network itself.

02
MOAT · II

BEAM substrate

A BEAM process is an autonomous agent. 1M agents per node.

03
MOAT · III

Network-level interoperability

Participants communicate across vendors, frameworks, and environments.

MOAT · IV

Neutral by design

Tesla, Apple, Google have fleets in the race. ARC is the neutral referee.

The window is open.

Every era needs an addressing standard.

Agents are fragmenting.

LangChain, CrewAI, MCP ecosystems — still isolated runtimes.

F·2

Humanoids are shipping.

Cryptographic identity is mature.

Hedera · ENS · on-chain naming, finally cheap.

The missing layer is no longer theoretical — it is becoming an infrastructure bottleneck.

Cisco, for the post-human network.

Cisco built the infrastructure layer for the internet era. ARC builds it for autonomous networks.

HARDWARE · I

Networking

Routing and communication between autonomous participants.

HARDWARE · II

Gateways

Fleet-scale identity gateways. Factory floors. Depots. Constellations.

SOFTWARE · III

Drivers

ARC-native stacks on every humanoid, vehicle, satellite.

Autonomous participants are becoming first-class citizens of the internet.

Foundation in place. Network opening next.

ARC Binary built. Applications running end-to-end.
