The demonstration at GovWare The demonstration at GovWare by GoDaddy, Infoblox, Google and Cloudflare simulated a complete agentic purchase of a flight from Madrid to Singapore among agents that did not know each other in advance and did not operate on the same platform. The mock buyer agent ran on Amazon Web Services, the seller agent was hosted on Cloudflare Workers, and the mandate authority and the verifier agent ran on Google. Because every layer uses open standards, the same chain can run on any cloud or platform. A person approved a purchase with a passkey, and an independent approval service issued signed AP2 mandates that set what the mock buyer agent could buy, from whom and up to what amount. The mock buyer agent found a seller through DNS and ARD. It checked the seller’s identity against the public log and the approval service checked the seller’s open Trust Index score against the person’s minimum requirement. The mock buyer agent then completed the simulated purchase over UCP, with payment through Stripe. The demo also incorporated rogue scenarios, including a look-alike seller and forged credentials, and the Chain of Trust stopped each before a transaction occurred. Every step, from discovery through payment, was recorded in an append-only log that anyone can inspect. “Realising the potential of agentic AI will require trusted and interoperable foundations that can support responsible deployment at scale. Robust agent identity will be a key part of that. IMDA will continue to support industry experimentation and open standards that put the principles of our Model AI Governance Framework for Agentic AI into practice, helping businesses innovate with greater confidence and accountability,” said Lee Wan Sie, cluster director, AI governance and safety at IMDA. “We don’t need to rebuild the internet for AI agents. By extending the open standards that have connected the internet for decades, we can give agents a verifiable identity that works across platforms,” said Jared Sine, chief strategy and legal officer at GoDaddy. “We’re grateful to Singapore’s IMDA and our partners for showing what’s possible when the industry builds together.” “The internet works because anyone can discover and connect with a website, regardless of who built it or where it’s hosted,” said Wei Chen, executive vice president of regulatory strategy at Infoblox. “AI agents need that same open foundation. We appreciate IMDA’s leadership in advancing trusted AI ecosystems and the opportunity to collaborate with industry partners to help make that vision a reality. By extending DNS and other established internet standards to agent discovery and identity verification, we’re helping create a system where businesses can independently verify who they’re dealing with, without relying on a single platform to decide who can be trusted.” “As autonomous AI agents move into real-world enterprise workflows, establishing an open, verifiable Chain of Trust is essential,” said Rao Surapaneni, vice president, Gemini Enterprise and Agent Governance Platform at Google Cloud AI. “We are thrilled to collaborate with Singapore’s IMDA and industry partners to operationalize their pioneering Agentic AI Governance Framework. By grounding multi-agent interactions in open standards, from capability discovery with ARD, to agent communication via A2A, and verifiable user mandates through AP2, we are enabling organizations to deploy autonomous agents with transparency, control, and scale.” “For agentic AI to succeed at global scale, security and trust cannot be locked inside platforms. By running seller agents and trust checks at the network edge on open Internet standards, we can ensure that every transaction is fast, verifiable, and secure across any platform. We’re proud to partner with Singapore’s IMDA and industry partners to build a safer, open agentic web,” said Stephanie Cohen, Chief Strategy Officer, Cloudflare.
