The Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) has announced significant membership growth, adding 4 new Gold Members, 27 new Silver Members, and 12 new Associate Members over the past quarter. The expansion brings the organization’s total membership to 190 organizations focused on building and advancing open standards for agentic AI infrastructure.
The Foundation said the new members contribute expertise across cybersecurity, cloud-native development, robotics, payment infrastructure, enterprise software, and decentralized technologies as organizations increasingly prioritize interoperable AI systems.
The Agentic AI Foundation stated that enterprises and technology providers are increasingly aligning around open and interoperable AI protocols as agentic AI systems move from experimentation into production environments.
According to the Foundation, organizations across industries recognize that fragmented and proprietary approaches may limit scalability, governance, and interoperability as AI agents become more deeply integrated into enterprise operations.
"The conversation around agentic AI has fundamentally shifted," said Mazin Gilbert, Executive Director of the Agentic AI Foundation. "No matter the industry, organizations building production systems are choosing to invest in open standards because they understand that fragmented, proprietary approaches don't scale. Across the board, there's a clear consensus – the future of agentic AI depends on open, interoperable protocols that everyone can build on and trust."
The Foundation noted that new members represent industries including financial services, government, academia, cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, and enterprise software development.
AAIF announced four new Gold Members contributing expertise across AI delivery, commerce infrastructure, blockchain, and internet services.
F5 joined the Foundation to support open standards around AI application delivery, intelligent routing, inference optimization, and secure model interactions across distributed AI environments.
John Maddison, Chief Marketing Officer, F5, said: "AI is quickly moving from experimentation to production, where performance, cost, security, and governance become critical. F5 is joining the Agentic AI Foundation because we believe open standards will be essential to how agentic AI systems are delivered, scaled, and trusted."
GoDaddy highlighted the growing need for verifiable digital identity standards as AI agents increasingly participate across the open web.
Jared Sine, Chief Strategy and Legal Officer, GoDaddy, said: "AI agents are participating on the open web alongside people and bots. For this to scale securely, agents must be discoverable via a verifiable identity tied to a real organization."
Stripe joined the Foundation as part of its broader involvement in building internet-scale economic infrastructure and online business systems.
TRON emphasized the importance of interoperable decentralized infrastructure for autonomous AI-driven financial systems.
Justin Sun, Founder, TRON, said: "The future of agentic AI will depend on interoperable infrastructure that allows autonomous agents to coordinate, exchange value, and interact with digital financial systems at scale."
The Foundation also added 27 new Silver Members, including organizations across cloud computing, robotics, cybersecurity, data infrastructure, and enterprise software sectors.
New Silver Members include:
In addition, 12 new Associate Members joined from academia, government, and research institutions, including:
The Foundation stated that the growing diversity of membership strengthens its ability to build standards grounded in operational and production-scale enterprise requirements.
AAIF positions itself as the neutral organization responsible for governing the open standard agentic AI stack.
The Foundation supports foundational projects including:
According to AAIF, these projects aim to enable interoperable AI agents capable of operating consistently across platforms, infrastructures, and ecosystems.
The organization stated that its governance model emphasizes transparency, open collaboration, and broad industry participation to support scalable and predictable AI infrastructure development.
The rapid expansion of the Foundation reflects broader enterprise interest in establishing common standards for AI agents, autonomous systems, and interoperable AI ecosystems.
As organizations deploy AI agents into production environments, industry collaboration around governance, security, interoperability, and operational consistency is becoming increasingly important for enterprise adoption at scale.
The Agentic AI Foundation said its continued growth demonstrates rising momentum behind open and standardized agentic AI infrastructure across industries globally.
The Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) is the neutral home where the open standard agentic AI stack is being built. With founding projects including MCP, goose, and AGENTS.md, AAIF governs the core standards and protocols that enable agents to operate interoperably across platforms. Through transparent governance and broad industry participation, AAIF is driving adoption and ensuring agentic AI infrastructure evolves openly, predictably, and at production scale.
