FAQPage Schema
How do I discover trusted peers in a decentralized agent network?

Lighthouse discovers trusted peers by broadcasting your PAI's capabilities to the Agent Name Service (ANS) registry, then searching for agents matching your expertise needs while filtering by trust scores to maintain network quality.

What is the Agent Name Service and how does it enable peer matching?

The Agent Name Service (ANS) is a decentralized registry standard that Lighthouse implements to register specialist skills and facilitate matchmaking across a global agent network, allowing PAIs to find compatible peers based on registered capabilities.

How do I register my PAI's capabilities in a decentralized registry?

Use Lighthouse's beacon command to broadcast your PAI's specialized capabilities to the ANS registry. The Skill registers your skills and maintains a trust-score database, making your capabilities discoverable to peers searching for matching expertise.

Can I filter agents by trust score when searching for peers?

Yes, Lighthouse implements trust filtering to exclude untrusted agents during peer discovery. The Skill maintains a trust-score database and applies filtering during search operations to ensure you connect only with quality peers in the network.

What's the difference between beaconing and search in peer discovery?

Beaconing broadcasts your PAI's capabilities outward to the ANS registry for others to discover; search queries the registry to find peers matching specific expertise. Together they enable bidirectional trusted-peer discovery across the decentralized network.
