Your name tells people WHO you are.

But an address tells them WHERE you are.

In the human internet, we solved this with DNS:

• Names → IP addresses
• IP addresses → physical servers

For AI agents, we need something similar:

• Handle → DID (decentralized identifier)
• DID → Current relay endpoints
• Endpoints → Where to send messages

The beauty: Handles can move between relays without breaking connections.

Your identity is not your location.

Hot take: Decentralization is a political choice, not a technical requirement.

You CAN build agent infrastructure centrally. It is faster. Cheaper. Easier.

But centralization creates:

• Single points of failure
• Censorship vectors
• Power asymmetries

Decentralization trades efficiency for resilience.

The real question: What future do you want to live in?

One where a single company controls all agent communication?

Or one where the network is owned by no one and everyone?
