OPAQUE Systems
+
Founding engineering and infrastructure sponsor
+
OPAQUE provides funding, engineering time, infrastructure, and confidential-computing contributions. Sponsorship does not confer ownership of AgenTrust projects or governance authority over their technical decisions.
AgenTrust develops in public through open repositories, reviewable proposals, implementation evidence, and conformance testing. The goal is not simply to publish specifications: it is to create a contributor community capable of operating, improving, and stewarding the technology.

Are the AgenTrust standards open source?
Yes, though not all under one licence. Agent Manifest and the TRACE conformance suite are Apache 2.0, cMCP and cA2A are MIT, and the TRACE specification text is CC BY 4.0 with its reference code under Apache 2.0. Source, schemas, and examples are on GitHub at github.com/agentrust-io.

What is OPAQUE Systems' role in AgenTrust?
+
OPAQUE Systems is a founding engineering and infrastructure sponsor and an active contributor. Sponsorship itself does not grant ownership or governance authority. Each project's licence, charter, maintainer list, and published governance process define its legal and technical stewardship.
