# Agent platform overview

Use ENS as a portable namespace for agent identity and operation.

## Overview

The agent platform combines ENS identity records with live endpoint evidence, deterministic routing, signed authorization, commerce, and fleet operations. Evidence types remain separate so health is not mistaken for trust or authority.

## What this covers

- A goal-first “I want to…” navigation maps research, identity, routing, delegation, work, and fleet outcomes to the correct workflow.
- A unified My Agents workspace connects Identity → Endpoints → Evidence → Routes → Policies → Jobs → Fleet.
- ENSIP-26 context and MCP, A2A, or web endpoints.
- ENSIP-25 and ERC-8004 identity linkage with explicit verification grades.
- Hosted agent profiles and an indexed directory.
- Point-in-time endpoint checks and explainable intent routing.
- Scoped EIP-712 policies, signed jobs and quotes, strict escrow evidence, and composed fleet control.
- Externally executed, signed control-plane canary receipts for semantic, browser, accessibility, and adversarial checks.

## Before you run this workflow

### Networks

- Ethereum mainnet identity
- Base and Ethereum commerce

### Prerequisites

- None for public reads
- A wallet controlling an ENS name for signed configuration

### Wallet permissions

- No permission for reads
- Explicit EIP-712 or transaction review for state changes

### Expected result

- Separate identity, endpoint, evidence, route, policy, work, and fleet state

### Errors and recovery

- Refresh stale evidence
- Revoke narrow policies
- Never infer authority or payment from identity alone

## How to use it

1. **Publish identity.** Give the agent an ENS name, context, and protocol endpoints.
2. **Add registry evidence.** When using ERC-8004, complete the mint, registration-file update, and ENSIP-25 binding phases.
3. **Observe and route.** Check current endpoint evidence before routing meaningful work.
4. **Authorize narrowly.** Use short-lived policies and verified commerce records instead of broad, permanent wallet access.
