AIP

What is AIP?

AIP (Agent Interoperability Protocol) is the first Web3-native multi-agent communication standard, built by Unibase. It enables agents to easily establish on-chain identities, share decentralized memory, and collaborate across platforms — all with built-in security and permissioning.

AIP = MCP + On-Chain Identity + Decentralized Memory

Why AIP Matters

Traditional protocols like MCP and A2A partially solve agent communication, but lack cross-platform identity, decentralized memory, and verifiable authorization. AIP fills these gaps by providing a full-stack solution for building a truly open agent internet.

✨ Key Features

• Cross-Platform Interoperability Standardized communication across diverse agent ecosystems (MCP-compatible, gRPC-supported).

• Decentralized Memory Layer Store agent prompts, dialogue history, and knowledge bases on Membase for persistent, tamper-proof long-term memory.

• On-Chain Identity & Access Control Each agent owns a verifiable blockchain identity with programmable permissioning.

• Direct LLM Integration LLMs can call agents and tools directly, enabling autonomous multi-agent workflows.

🔥 Quick Start

1. Install AIP SDK

pip install git+https://github.com/unibaseio/aip-agent.git

Or clone locally:

git clone https://github.com/unibaseio/aip-agent.git
cd aip-agent
uv venv
uv sync --dev --all-extras

2. Set Up Environment Variables

export MEMBASE_ID="<your-unique-id>"
export MEMBASE_ACCOUNT="<bnb-testnet-account>"
export MEMBASE_SECRET_KEY="<secret-key>"

Make sure your account has BNB tokens on BNBChain Testnet.

3. Run an Example Agent

cd examples/aip_agents
uv run grpc_full_agent_gradio.py
