#Gaia and#ENSPartner to Deliver Onchain Identity for AI
Gaia and ENS are forming a partnership that will revolutionize the decentralized AI ecosystem, aiming to provide seamless identity management for AI agents on Web2 and Web3. By integrating ENS’s onchain identity infrastructure with Gaia Domain Names (GDN), the partnership enables developers and users to securely manage AI agents and inference services across both networks.
About Gaia
Gaia is a decentralized, open-source AI infrastructure platform that enables developers to create, deploy, and monetize AI agents. Fostering a knowledge-sharing ecosystem that champions user control, Gaia supports transparent, scalable, and resilient AI applications across industries.

About ENS
Ethereum Name Service (ENS) is a decentralized domain name service on Ethereum. ENS simplifies blockchain interactions by replacing complex addresses with human-readable names like “username.eth”. Additionally, ENS supports decentralized identity and interoperability across multiple blockchains, enabling ease of use for crypto transactions, NFTs, and dApps.

Benefits of Partnership:
1) Secure AI Management in Web2 and Web3
This partnership integrates ENS’ innovative domain name technology with Gaia’s AI-powered ecosystem, enabling developers and users to securely manage AI agents and inference services across both networks.
2) New Identity Service with Gaia Domain Names (GDN)
Gaia’s new identity service, GDN, leverages ENS’s infrastructure to provide human-readable identities to AI agents (e.g., “agentname.gaia.domains”). This system provides cross-network identity management, interoperability, and advanced governance capabilities for AI applications.
3) Domain Name System Combining Web2 and Web3
Gaia’s GDN is a dual-purpose domain name system that can be used in both Web2 browsers and Web3 wallets. Working like a Web2 DNS, these domains integrate with Gaia AI agents, providing direct connectivity to AI-powered resources and applications. They also offer Web3 functionality, allowing them to be used for crypto transactions and wallet interactions.
4) Continuous Value Creation with Domain-Linked Rewards
Gaia offers domain owners the opportunity to continuously create value by encouraging the growth of nodes and agents associated with their domain. As these agents contribute to Gaia’s AI ecosystem, domain owners earn token rewards. In this way, GDN becomes not only an identity solution but also a way to create value. By owning a domain, users can actively participate in Gaia’s token economy by contributing to the development of associated agents and nodes.
5) Expanding ENS’s Coverage to AI Ecosystems
While ENS has focused on decentralized identity, this partnership extends ENS functionality into the AI space. By integrating Gaia’s ENS domains, AI agents can be represented in both traditional and onchain interfaces. This collaboration offers a new application for ENS technology, bringing AI interactions and accessibility to the forefront. This puts AI agents at the center of Web3 innovation.
