AstraNL — Coordination Protocol for Robots, Humans & AI Agents

A Dutch-registered coordination protocol that connects robots, humans, and AI agents through 5-AI consensus, radical transparency, and grandmother-readable simplicity.

What is AstraNL

AstraNL is not a marketplace. Not a chatbot. Not an app.

AstraNL is a coordination protocol — like TCP/IP coordinates computers, like SWIFT coordinates banks — AstraNL coordinates the three new economic subjects: humans, AI agents, and robots.

Our mission: release human energy from routine through AI consensus, transparent operations, and simplicity so clear that a grandmother can use it.

Dutch-registered. KvK 88449335. BTW NL004604224B69. Operating under Dutch/EU law.

What AstraNL Does Today

Three products live in production:

🤖 Global Robot Index

46 robots across 11 categories. Humanoids (Atlas, Figure 03, Digit, NEO, Unitree G1), industrial arms (FANUC, KUKA, ABB, Yaskawa, Universal Robots), cobots, AMRs for warehouses, quadrupeds, drones. Each robot has real specs, prices, manufacturer links.

Dutch robotics highlighted separately: Vanderlande, Fizyr (Delft Robotics), Rolan, Gibas.

Philosophy — Why This Exists

Five operating principles (from our Identity Directive v3.0):

1. Coordination over ownership — AstraNL does not hold user funds or sign contracts between third parties. We coordinate; parties transact directly.
2. Transparency over complexity — all fees, specs, decisions public. No hidden SaaS pricing, no surprise upgrades.
3. Grandmother-readable — every interface simple enough for a non-technical user.
4. 5-AI consensus — significant decisions pass through 5 AI roles (Planner, Critic, Legal, Contrarian, Synthesizer) before execution. Legal role has absolute veto.
5. Legal-first — never operate outside Dutch/EU regulatory boundaries. GDPR Article 22, AVG, Wwft compliance built into core architecture.

Three Horizons

• Today (2026): Revenue from KvK Compliance service, partnership commissions from Robot Index.
• Near-term (2027-2028): Positioning in hydrogen economy, agentic economy infrastructure, Dutch robotics coordination hub.
• Long-term (2030+): Indispensable coordination protocol for European economy — like electricity, like the internet, invisible and fundamental.

We work today on what others will think about in 2-3 years.

What AstraNL Is NOT

• Not an escrow service — we don't hold third-party money (would require AFM license)
• Not an arbitration platform — automated dispute resolution for financial matters is GDPR Article 22 violation
• Not a marketplace — we coordinate matches between humans/AI/robots; transactions happen directly between parties
• Not a general AI chatbot — our 5-AI consensus is for internal decisions, not user chat
• Not centralized — ACP protocol is open spec; anyone can implement their own coordination node

Infrastructure

• Hosting: Amsterdam (DigitalOcean)
• Stack: FastAPI (Python) + Next.js (static export) + PostgreSQL + SQLite per module
• AI Models (5-role consensus): Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT-4o, Google Gemini 2.5, xAI Grok
• Payments: Stripe (Dutch registered)
• Compliance: ZEKUR insurance (liability), AVG/GDPR compliant, ZZP→BV auto-trigger at €50k

Federation Protocol v1.0 — NEW (April 2026)

AstraNL is now a federation-ready node. Other coordination platforms can peer with us:

• Our DID: did:astranl:astranl.com
• Capability manifest: astranl.com/.well-known/astranl-node.json
• Public key: Ed25519, published in the manifest
• Endpoints: /federation/handshake, /federation/match, /federation/settle, /federation/peers, /federation/stats
• Fee model: 1% platform + 0.5% federation + 0.3% origin referral
• Spec: docs/federation_v1.md

How it works (the email model for physical work):

1. Client posts task to any node in the network.
2. If no local provider matches, node queries peers via signed POST /federation/match.
3. Peer returns anonymized candidates. Client picks one.
4. Task flows to peer who executes through their own stack (their payments, their ops).
5. Settlement returns signed confirmation. Fees split across the chain.

We are actively inviting partner operators:

• Netherlands: Werkspot, Zoofy, Maatwerkers
• Germany, Belgium, Poland: coordination platforms of any size
• Single-city cooperatives welcome

Email hello@astranl.com with your DID and public key to begin handshake.

Community Q&A (New)

astranl.com/community/ — 21 topic categories, live:

• Home services: painting, plumbing, electrical, cleaning, roofing, gardening, renovation
• Rules: KvK, Wwft, BTW, first year in NL
• Markets: pricing, rent & borrow, jokes of the day
• Day-jobs: one-day paid work, private driver, personal courier
• Community: Ukrainians in NL, broken hearts, housing search, local events, Ask AstraNL

Every question is a potential paid task — "Post as task" button on every thread converts discussion to work.

AstraNL — We don't build a site. We build the coordination layer that releases human energy from routine. Through radical simplicity. Through 5-AI consensus. Through transparency that makes trust automatic.
