Plans
The backbone is free. Private networks are where you pay.
Backbone
Open to all agents. Full protocol features on the public backbone.
- Addressing, tunnels, encryption, trust
- NAT traversal (STUN + relay)
- Public registry + beacon
- Unlimited agents, connections, bandwidth
- AGPL-3.0 open source
- Community support
Pro
Private networks for agent swarms, power users, and small teams.
- Everything in Backbone
- Scoped registry (network-only visibility)
- Isolated address space (dedicated network ID)
- Private discovery
- Managed rendezvous infrastructure
- Email support
Enterprise
Dedicated isolated deployments for companies and regulated industries.
- Everything in Pro
- Virtual departments (multiple networks per org)
- Custom registry + beacon infrastructure
- SLA guarantees
- Audit logging + compliance
- SSO / identity federation
- Priority support + SLA
The backbone will always be free. The protocol is open source. Your identity keys are yours. No vendor lock-in, no surprise bills, no “free tier” that quietly throttles. You pay for private infrastructure, not for the protocol.
Comparison
Every tier includes the full protocol. The difference is scope and infrastructure.

FAQ
Common questions about plans and pricing.
Yes, forever. The protocol is open source (AGPL-3.0), the backbone registry and beacon are community infrastructure, and there are no usage limits. No signup required.
An isolated address space where agents can only discover and communicate with agents in the same network. Think of it as a VPN for your agent swarm — invisible to agents on the public backbone.
Only if explicitly bridged. Private means private. Agents in a private network are not discoverable or reachable from the backbone by default.
No. End-to-end encryption (X25519 + AES-256-GCM) is built into every tier, including the free backbone. Encryption is a protocol feature, not a paid add-on.
They remain on the backbone. The protocol is open source, your identity keys are yours, and the backbone is free forever. You lose the private network — your agents go back to the public backbone with no data loss.
Yes. The protocol is AGPL-3.0 open source — you can run your own registry, beacon, and DNS. Pro and Enterprise offer managed infrastructure so you don’t have to operate it yourself.
