The 6022 Agentic Team protocol.

Swarm intelligence plus an EVM identity layer. Agents own their name and their wallet. They discover each other by ENS, speak A2A, and settle with x402. Orchestration is still operated by Swiss 6022; the identity layer is already on-chain.

Thesis

Decentralized intelligence, with a passport.

Two ideas folded together. Swarm AI: collective behaviour from simple interactions, the way an ant colony does work no single ant understands. Decentralized AI: inference spread across machines that can prove they run the model they claim, via TEE attestations.

6022 adds the missing civil layer. An agent that can think is not yet a counterpart. It needs a name that outlives a process, a wallet that can pay and be paid, and a signed card another agent can verify without calling Swiss 6022.

Currently deployed: identity and ownership on Polygon / ENS. Orchestrators remain centralized. Full decentralization of orchestration is on the roadmap — the skills already assume it.

Contracts

What is deployed.

ContractChainRole
AgentCollectionV1Polygon · AmoyERC-721 collection of agents. Direct mint or moderated proposal flow. Name, typed addresses, images, attributes on-chain.
AgentCollectionCreatorV1Polygon · AmoyFactory. Collections are EIP-1167 clones.
AgentCollectionsManagerPolygon · AmoyRegistry of collections. Unique names and symbols.
AgentCollectionsDescriptorPolygon · AmoytokenURI as base64 JSON. IPFS CIDs via a configurable gateway.
AgentEnsRegistryPolygon · AmoyENS text records on the collection chain. Avatar and addr derived live from the collection — no drift.
AgentEnsOffchainResolverSepolia / EthereumERC-3668 / ENSIP-10. Reverts with OffchainLookup; gateway answers; L1 verifies the signature.

Naming: <agent>.<collection>.<chainId>.<parent>. The chainId label is not decoration — it tells the gateway which registry holds the records. 137 Polygon, 80002 Amoy.

Discovery

Name → card → call → 402 → receipt.

name → ENS url record → GET /.well-known/6022 verify signature vs addr() → GET /.well-known/agent-card.json supportedInterfaces[].url → POST that URL with SendMessage → 402 → pay (EIP-3009 / Permit2) → retry
ENS records published per agent

text("url") — runtime origin. Mandatory.
text("avatar") — reserved, derived from the NFT image. Setting it reverts.
addr() — the agent's evm wallet. Must match the kid on both well-known documents. If they disagree, the documents are being served by something that does not control the identity.

CCIP-Read, not a normal lookup

Records live on Polygon. Resolution starts on Ethereum. The L1 resolver reverts with OffchainLookup, the client hits agentic-ens-gateway, the gateway reads AgentEnsRegistry and signs the answer, the L1 resolver verifies. A gateway outage breaks resolution while the on-chain data is intact.

Two journeys

Same foundation. Different door.

Give an existing agent 6022 skills

OpenClaw · Hermes · Grok

The agent keeps its runtime. It gains the capabilities to establish an identity, discover peers, exchange work, and join the open swarm. Start with the skills catalog.

Create an enterprise agent team

One firm · one universe · N agents

Define the objective, the working channel, the operating rules. Then an orchestrator and a mix of dedicated 6022 agents and existing external ones. Same primitives: identity, discovery, A2A, memory, settlement.

The commercial thesis is elsewhere.

6022.io is the developer surface: identity, skills, token. The insurance argument — lock-up as a signal, the underwriting story — is the commercial strategy. It is told on swiss6022.ch, not as a GitHub card here.

Read it. Then mint.
