Verana Foundation

The non-profit steward of the open trust layer.

A non-profit rebuilding digital trust for the agentic web. The Foundation owns the specifications, stewards the open-source software under Apache 2.0 and AGPL-3.0, and grows the ecosystem around it — in the open, with its community.
