JITNA Protocol

Just In Time Nodal Assembly — an open agent-to-agent communication protocol (RFC-001 v2.0) that defines how AI agents discover, negotiate tasks, execute work, and verify results.

Detailed Explanation

JITNA (Just In Time Nodal Assembly) is the protocol layer of the RCT Ecosystem — sometimes described as 'the HTTP of Agentic AI.' It defines a standardized packet format (JITNAPacket) with Ed25519 cryptographic signatures, a negotiation flow (PROPOSE → COUNTER → ACCEPT/REJECT), and a SHA-256 checkpoint replay chain. Unlike tool-calling APIs that treat AI as passive executors, JITNA treats agents as autonomous collaborators who can negotiate and refuse tasks. Defined in RFC-001 v2.0, a 52-page open specification.
