uAgents is a Python framework for building autonomous AI agents, targeting developers who need to create decentralized, event-driven applications. It simplifies agent creation with decorators and ensures secure, connected operation by registering agents on the Fetch.ai blockchain's Almanac smart contract.

How It Works

uAgents leverages a lightweight, asynchronous Python framework. Agents communicate via a secure, encrypted messaging protocol. Key features include interval-based task execution, event handling, and automatic registration on the Fetch.ai network's Almanac, which acts as a decentralized registry and discovery service for agents. This approach facilitates agent interoperability and network participation.
