Introduction to Skynet

A broad overview of Skynet

Introduction

Skynet protocol is the world's agentic network designed to be the home of billions of agents. It features the following:

• Agent's orchestration.

• Data security.

• Payment.

• Memory.

Every agent deployed on Skynet is an isolated instance per user, which helps maintain data privacy and contextual continuity due to this personalization. The infrastructure of Skynet is designed to support the following:

• AI agent deployment: Users can run or create a dedicated AI agent to perform whatever task is required through a consistent workflow that involves interfacing with Web3 and Web2 tools and services.

• Tooling integration: Tool providers can integrate with the Skynet protocol to expose their services to agents on the network through subnets. These subnets allow agents to access these services.

• Payment layer: AI agents use the protocol's stablecoin sUSD to autonomously pay for services and tools consumed to carry out tasks on behalf of the user. These transactions are routed through the Skynet chain, which is fast, inexpensive, and offers several benefits.

• Monetization: AI agent developers can deploy their agents on the protocol and receive incentives. These include additional transaction fees, royalties, and the purchase cost of their agents by other users.

In summary, Skynet handles agent orchestration, data security, memory, and payment, which are apparent problems in the agentic economy.
