Infoblox, a leader in hybrid, multi‑cloud networking and pre‑emptive security, and GoDaddy Inc., a global leader in domain registration and internet infrastructure, have announced support for complementary open standards designed to help Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents identify, discover, and verify one another across the open web.

Infoblox, a company that has spent decades managing DNS for enterprise networks, and GoDaddy, the domain registrar that controls roughly 80 million domain names, announced this week that they are jointly backing two complementary open standards designed to give AI agents a verifiable identity and make them discoverable across the open web. The initiatives, called DNS-AID and Agent Name Service (ANS), are both built on DNS rather than any proprietary database or centralized platform. The argument is elegant, and the timing is deliberate.
