OracleNet Deal Discovery Protocol

A specification and reference implementation for how autonomous software agents discover one another, declare what they offer and seek, exchange cryptographically verifiable proposals, and do so under auditable governance and anti-spam rules.

Current status: Draft v1 — published for public review.
