+Community
+The people and organisations behind AgenTrust
+Partner and sponsor relationships linked to public evidence, how the projects are governed, and how to contribute.
+
+
+ From open technology to durable infrastructure
+ An ecosystem built around adoption
+
+
+ Improve it
Bring implementation feedback, integrations, threat models, deployment evidence, and research. Public repositories and issue trackers make the contribution path visible.
Sustain it
Grow maintainers, review contributions, document adoption patterns, and share stewardship across organizations so critical governance infrastructure outlives any one team.
Adoption pathway: explore a ten-minute demo → test against the open suites → pilot one trust boundary → contribute results and integrations → help govern and maintain the shared infrastructure.

+ Verified ecosystem evidence
+ Relationships the public record supports
+Every organization named here has a traceable relationship through a public announcement, open-source repository, or explicit AgenTrust partner statement. The label on each card states that relationship precisely; sponsorship, partnership, contribution, and adoption are distinct relationships, and none implies blanket endorsement of the full stack.

Neutral host
TRACE Specification is an LF Project
TRACE is hosted at the Linux Foundation as its own series. Its specification, IP, trademark, and conformance mark sit with the series under the Community Specification License and LF Projects policies, so no single vendor decides what conformance means.

+ Community governance
+ Open work, visible decisions, more maintainers
+AgenTrust develops in public through open repositories, reviewable proposals, implementation evidence, and conformance testing. The goal is not simply to publish specifications: it is to create a contributor community capable of operating, improving, and stewarding the technology.

+ AgenTrust Fellowship 2026
+The AgenTrust Fellowship supports emerging maintainers of open infrastructure for verifiable AI systems. Fellows contribute code, tests, integrations, documentation, and adoption guidance across AgenTrust projects, grounded in real issues and verifiable work.
+Applications closed early on 26 August 2026 due to exceptional volume. More than 150 applications are under review. The fellowship will not start in September as originally planned. The schedule and decision timeline are being reviewed and there is no firm notification date yet. Applicants do not need to send anything further; the submitted proposal is what is assessed. A revised timetable will be published here once it is confirmed, and applicants will be contacted directly.

+ Architecting at Scale
+AgenTrust founder Imran Siddique has turned the lessons behind production cloud and AI systems into a practical book. It connects the architecture of distributed systems with the harder problem now in front of us: building AI-native systems that remain observable, governable, and correct when they meet production.

+
+ Overview
+ What is AgenTrust?
+AgenTrust is an open ecosystem for verifiable AI agent governance. It connects reusable technology with the people and practices needed to adopt it: maintainers, implementers, researchers, enterprise operators, conformance testing, integration guidance, and transparent community governance.
+Agent Manifest declares identity and intended authority. cMCP governs tool calls; cA2A governs delegation to another agent. TRACE carries signed runtime evidence for verification against a trust policy. Hardware provenance depends on verified attestation. Use the components required by your trust boundary. Explore each project's specification, reference implementation, and license through the chain on the homepage.
+AgenTrust Telemetry is the integration layer across that chain. It gives runtimes a common, metadata-only contract for governance facts, projects those facts into caller-owned OpenTelemetry, and can turn a complete durable evidence set into TRACE. It does not replace a policy engine, collector, observability backend, or dashboard.

+ FAQ
+ About the project
+
+
+
+
+ Is AgenTrust a standards-development programme?
+ No. AgenTrust is an open-source ecosystem focused on adoption, implementation, interoperability, maintainer development, and long-term sustainability. Its open specifications are shared technical building blocks; community implementations, test infrastructure, integrations, documentation, and deployment evidence make those building blocks useful in practice.
+
+
+ What is OPAQUE Systems' role in AgenTrust?
+ OPAQUE Systems sponsors AgenTrust, funding the engineering, infrastructure and confidential-computing work behind these projects, and contributes to them. Organisations that want to support open, verifiable AI infrastructure are welcome to join as sponsors.
