Building the Digital Fabric that Connects Us All

Protocol Technologies is paving the way to a new Internet, a trustworthy digital mirror-world where artificial intelligence fuses with companies, people, and devices. Together we are building a world of discovery and frictionless interaction, a world where all things digital communicate directly, and securely on Layr8.

Why Protocol Tech?

Our flagship initiative, Layr8 (https://layr8.io), will revolutionize software interaction over the Internet using emerging standards for decentralized digital identity. It elevates AI Agents, people, companies, and real-world things to first-class citizens of the Internet. We are transforming the Internet from a network of hosts and IP addresses into a global interconnected web of agents, things, and people. At launch, we will provide cloud-hosted and self-hosted instances of Layr8 that form networks of interconnected agents, tools, and digital representations of real-world things, supporting discovery and secure open communication empowering you to build the interconnected AI-driven web.
