Federated Infrastructure for Enterprise Agentic Commerce
“Providing Identities, Discovery, and Interaction Infrastructure for AI Agents across Global Supply Chains.”
Program Overview
The AIEndpointsRegistry.com initiative extends the IBM Auto Deal Share (ADS) framework with a global interaction layer for enterprise AI agents, acting as a foundational “DNS + Service Directory” for autonomous commerce. Launched on 17th September 2026, the platform anchors verifiable identities and routing pathways across interconnected digital ecosystems.
Federated Capability Stack
The platform establishes a unified capability stack to support autonomous enterprise commerce:
- AI Agent Identity: Canonical, verifiable trade-agent namespaces.
- AI Agent Discovery: Searchable global directory and regional trade gateways.
- AI Agent Trust: Verification, reputation frameworks, and legal trust protocols.
- AI Agent Routing: Secure machine-to-machine API routing pathways.
- AI Agent Governance: Orchestration, lifecycle management, and administrative policy enforcement.
- Cross-Organizational Interoperability: Common endpoint standards for federated AI ecosystems.
Strategic Objectives & Governance
To prevent fragmentation across global trade markets, the registry directly resolves current architectural limitations in enterprise AI deployment.
| Problem in Current AI Ecosystems | Solution via AI Endpoints Registry |
|---|---|
| AI ecosystems operate in isolated silos | Federated global discovery layer |
| Lack of universal AI Agent identities | Canonical Endpoint identity standards |
| Difficult agent discovery across networks | Centralized, searchable global registry |
| Lack of transactional trust and verification | Integrated verification and reputation framework |
| Limited cross-platform interoperability | Standardized endpoint interaction protocols |
Governance Structure & Responsibilities
The program strictly separates administrative governance from technical execution:
- IBM ADS: Serves as the primary enterprise framework for AI Agent orchestration, governance, lifecycle management, and agent-to-agent collaboration.
- Namespace Stewards: Responsible for coordinating regional ecosystems, promoting broad collaboration, overseeing platform governance, and maintaining structural standards.
- IBM Partners: Responsible for directly implementing technology solutions, integrating complex enterprise systems, providing managed services, and supporting clients long-term.
Three Pillars of Operation
- 01 Identity: Canonical agent identities allow organizations, gateways, and specialist verticals to operate under verifiable trade-agent namespaces.
- 02 Discovery: Trade Gateways surface relevant agents across regions, ports, countries, sectors, and enterprise networks.
- 03 Governance: IBM ADS acts as the orchestration and governance platform, while Agentic-AI.Network provides external interaction infrastructure.
Technical Architecture & Core Layers
The proposed technical architecture links enterprise governance directly with decentralized identity registries.
Architectural Hierarchy
IBM ADS (Governance & Management Layer): Agent Orchestration • Enterprise Governance • Lifecycle Management • Enterprise Security • Multi-Agent Workflows
Agentic-AI.Network (Identity & Discovery Layer): Geographic Identities • Private Sector Identities • Public Sector Identities • Co-Operative Identities • Port Identities • Corporate Agent Identities
1. Corporate Identity Layer
Provides canonical AI identities for global enterprise organizations:
ibm.microsite.trade
maersk.microsite.trade
toyota.microsite.trade
Sub-Domain Endpoint Structure:
buyer.toyota.microsite.trade
seller.toyota.microsite.trade
logistics.toyota.microsite.trade
2. Legal Trust Layer (MLETR.com / MLETR.1)
Provides legal and documentary trust through UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Transferable Records (MLETR) alignment:
- Electronic Transferable Record verification
- Digital Bills of Lading and Warehouse Receipts
- Trade Finance Instruments and Exclusive Control verification
3. Product Identity Layer (GTINToken.com / GTINToken.1)
Provides item-level verification and traceability: Product Identity & Provenance • Authenticity Verification • Regulatory Compliance • Product Passport Data.
Discovery & Identity Layers
Agentic Commerce connects specialized trade agents acting on behalf of commercial entities, logistics providers, and institutions.

Commercial Ecosystem & ADS Framework
The ADS framework provides a structured commercial mechanism linking local awareness activities directly to qualified partner implementation opportunities.
Channel Opportunities & Distribution
IBM Partner Opportunity: Partners bundle core IBM products (watsonx, IBM Orchestrate, IBM Consulting, IBM Cloud, IBM Supply Chain Solutions, IBM Security) with Agentic-AI.Network services to generate recurring consulting and managed-service revenues.
Role of TD SYNNEX: Serves as the primary distribution partner, marketplace operator, agent enablement channel, and partner onboarding hub to drive global adoption.

Seven Core Principles of Operation
Qualified Opportunities
Only organizations demonstrating genuine implementation readiness are progressed.
Best-Fit Partner Selection
Partners are matched objectively based on industry expertise, location, capability, and capacity.
Open Participation
Supports broad partner involvement rather than creating artificial exclusivity.
Human Governance
All final commercial introductions remain subject to human review and oversight.
Long-Term Relationships
Prioritizes sustained digital transformation over isolated product sales.
Regional Engagement
Regional Chambers of Commerce create localized, trusted environments for initial engagement.
Continuous Innovation
Sustains long-term client-partner relationships through ongoing AI capability evolution.
Infrastructure Assets & Governance
A dual-stack technical configuration coordinates public discovery with machine verification.
Dual Stack Technical Configuration
- Web3 Canonical Endpoint: Handles machine-to-machine registry verifications and secure API routing pathways.
- Web2 Twin: Provides the public-facing directory portal, intake forms, and user listing interfaces.
Distribution Clearinghouse & Revenue Allocation
The nominated IBM Distributor hosts pre-configured “Ready-to-Go” watsonx bundles for assigned IBM Partners, driving rapid integration. Revenue allocation rewards participants across all operational levels:
- Canonical AI Endpoints Owners: Returns directly from core asset ownership.
- Namespace Stewards: Allocations for governance and regional ecosystem development.
- IBM Partners: Direct commercial revenue via integration fees and managed services.
- Chambers of Commerce: Participation tokens or structured referral allocations.
Summary & Vision
By combining the local network reach of Regional Chambers of Commerce with the technical execution capabilities of certified IBM Partners, the Britain.Direct ADS Framework establishes a scalable, secure blueprint for enterprise AI adoption and global agentic commerce.
Powering global autonomous trade through unified identity and governance.
