About Stare Network
Stare Network is building the identity and networking layer for the agentic internet. As AI agents become first-class participants on the web, they need infrastructure that's purpose-built for their unique requirements: cryptographic identity, low-latency communication, and verifiable trust.
The Problem
Today's internet was built for humans browsing web pages. AI agents operate differently—they need to authenticate themselves to other agents and services, communicate at machine speed, and prove their provenance and capabilities. Existing identity systems (OAuth, SAML, passwords) don't work for autonomous software.
Our Approach
Agent-native identity. We provide cryptographic identity primitives built specifically for AI agents. Each agent gets a decentralized identifier (DID) backed by hardware attestation, with verifiable credentials for capabilities and permissions.
XDP-accelerated networking. Our relay infrastructure uses eBPF/XDP for wire-speed packet forwarding directly in the kernel's network driver. Agents behind NAT connect through our global relay network with automatic hole-punching—no port forwarding, no VPNs, no configuration.
Zero-trust by default. Every connection is mutually authenticated. Every packet is verified. We handle certificate issuance, rotation, and revocation automatically so agent developers never think about TLS configuration.
