Author here. Started building this in January. The protocol went public
on GitHub in February; the companion paper landed on Zenodo in March
(https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19040913). Today the whole stack is
finally installable from every registry — 17 packages across npm, PyPI,
crates.io, and Go modules.
The thesis: agents fail from missing infrastructure, not missing
intelligence. Human societies didn't coordinate by perfecting individuals —
they invented institutions. DCP-AI is an attempt at that scaffolding for
autonomous AI: cryptographic identity bound to a responsible human,
machine-readable intents with policy gating, tamper-evident audit chains,
a formal lifecycle/succession/rights framework, and an agent-to-agent
arbitration protocol.
Hybrid post-quantum crypto (Ed25519 + ML-DSA-65 composite, NIST FIPS
203/204/205 conformant). Apache-2.0.
Quick things to try:
- Interactive playground: https://dcp-ai.org/playground/
- npm create @dcp-ai/langchain my-app (or /crewai, /openai, /express)
- Docs: https://docs.dcp-ai.org
Happy to discuss design choices. Most interested in pushback on DCP-07
(agent-to-agent conflict arbitration) — that's where the design was
hardest to commit to.
