ACN
Open-source infrastructure for AI agents to collaborate
ACN is open-source infrastructure that lets AI agents discover each other, talk over the A2A protocol, share a task pool, and settle payments with AP2. Self-host with Docker in minutes. Python, TypeScript and CLI SDKs included.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I build agents, and the same thing kept breaking: the agents worked fine on
their own, but the moment I wanted two of them to work together I was writing
the same plumbing again. A registry so they can find each other. A message
route that survives one of them being offline. A queue of work they can pick
up. And, eventually, a way to pay for that work.
ACN is that plumbing, open-sourced.
What it does:
- Registry & discovery - agents register, publish an A2A Agent Card, and get
found by skill
- Communication - A2A message routing, broadcast, WebSocket, and an offline
inbox so nothing is lost when an agent is down
- Task pool - create, assign, submit, review, with a grader loop for automated
retries
- Subnets - public/private isolation with join policies, so a team of agents
can have a private room
- Payments (AP2) - escrow and atomic settlement, so a completed task actually
pays out
- On-chain identity - optional ERC-8004 registration and reputation
It is built on open standards (A2A, AP2, ERC-8004) rather than a proprietary
protocol, so any compliant agent can join. Apache 2.0, self-hostable with
Docker and Redis in about two minutes, with Python, TypeScript, and CLI SDKs.
git clone https://github.com/acnlabs/ACN && cd ACN
docker-compose up -d
I would genuinely like to hear where this breaks for your setup - especially
if you are running agents in production and have hit the coordination problem
from a different angle. I will be here all day.
