LegalZoom (LZ) and GoDaddy (GDDY) have entered into a partnership to protect the agentic open web for small and medium-sized businesses. As enterprises roll out AI agents across different platforms, users lack a consistent way to verify where an agent came from, who published it, and whether it can be trusted. Agent Name Service, or ANS, is an open standard built to help solve this challenge. It requires each registered AI agent to be assigned a unique, human-readable name and a cryptographically verifiable identity. GoDaddy ANS is the first public implementation of the open standard where anyone can publish and verify agents in minutes. In support of that blueprint, LegalZoom registered its first AI agent, leveraging GoDaddy ANS. GoDaddy ANS provides cryptographic verification that confirms the agent is legitimately owned and operated by LegalZoom using DNS as the root of trust. By registering the agent on GoDaddy ANS, it can be discovered not just by humans, but other agents as well at internet scale.

U.S. Stocks Near All-Time Highs as Investors Eye Tech Giants' Earnings
- Strong Market Performance: The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite indices reached new all-time highs in April, rising over 8% and 13% respectively, indicating robust market resilience despite ongoing geopolitical tensions and AI disruption concerns, reflecting investor confidence in tech stocks.
- Earnings Pressure on Tech Giants: Next week, five of the 'Magnificent Seven' companies will report earnings, with market expectations for them to demonstrate sufficient revenue growth to justify their high AI expenditures; Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft have all seen stock price increases of over 10% this month, highlighting the market's keen interest in their performance.
- Federal Reserve Meeting Impact: This is expected to be Jerome Powell's last meeting as chair, with the market widely anticipating that the Fed will keep interest rates unchanged, although rising oil prices could complicate future monetary policy, necessitating close attention to how this dynamic may affect the market.
- Cautious Investor Sentiment: As the traditional market adage 'Sell in May' approaches, investors remain wary of potential downside risks, particularly in light of poor software stock performance and rising oil prices, which could further dampen market sentiment.
