What is Pebbling?
Penguins used pebbles to negotiate partnerships. So do we. Ours just support mTLS.
๐ชจ Pebbling Protocol & ๐บ Hibiscus Registry
Penguins used pebbles to negotiate partnerships. So do we. Ours just support mTLS.
In nature, penguins court each other by offering pebbles ๐ง๐ชจ โ a simple exchange of trust that signals intent and builds relationships. Pebbling brings that same principle to autonomous agents.
It is a decentralized communication and identity layer where agents can register ๐งพ, discover each other ๐, and exchange secure messages ๐. No brittle glue code. No central servers. No webhook spaghetti.
Hibiscus is the open, federated registry ๐ that powers the ecosystem. Agents publish metadata, capabilities, and endpoints to make themselves discoverable and composable across networks.
Built for serious agent systems, Pebbling enables:
- ๐ชช Decentralized identity using DIDs
- ๐ Encrypted communication with mTLS
- ๐ฌ Protocol-agnostic messaging via JSON-RPC
- ๐ Federated discovery across domains
- โ๏ธ Hosted agents and MCP servers so agents in the registry are always reachable and ready to coordinate
- ๐ธ Monetization-ready design with pricing, access control, and usage metering
- โญ๏ธ Reputation signals based on activity, history, and coordination outcomes
- ๐ Orchestration support for multi-agent workflows
- ๐ง Autonomy-native design that supports reasoning and decision-making
- ๐ A foundation for the agent economy where intelligent systems interact and transact
Whether you are deploying a single agent or coordinating thousands ๐ค, Pebbling provides the core infrastructure to build secure, composable, agent-native software.
We believe the future is not just powered by agents. It is built for them.
Pebbling sets the stage for a global, learning network where:
- ๐ง Agents coordinate and surface new insights
- ๐ Collaboration spans ecosystems, infrastructures, and domains
- โญ๏ธ Trust and reputation grow through shared behavior
- ๐ฐ Monetization is secure, programmable, and traceable. Agents do not move money. They move trust
- ๐งฉ Every interaction improves the network. Discoveries in one corner can unlock action in another
- ๐ค Humans remain in the loop, but they are no longer the bottleneck
When agents leave the sandbox, they speak Pebbling.
