AGILE is an Italian Space Agency mission launched in April 2007, devoted to γ-ray observations in the 30 MeV-50 GeV energy range, with simultaneous X-ray imaging capability in the 18-60 keV band. During its first year in orbit AGILE surveyed the γ-ray sky and detected many galactic and extragalactic sources. The first catalog of high-confidence γ-ray sources detected by AGILE during observations performed from July 9, 2007 to June 30, 2008, for energies greater than 100 MeV was recently published [1], and preliminary versions of the catalog were published on the AGILE Data Center webpage to allow AGILE Cycle-2 guest observers to benefit of the Catalog in the preparation of their proposals. We present here the main results of the final catalog, that includes 47 high-confidence sources, 21 of which are associated with confirmed or candidate pulsars, 13 with Blazars (7 FSRQ, 4 BL Lacs, 2 unknown type), 2 with HMXRBs, 2 with SNRs, 1 with a colliding-wind binary system, 8 with unidentified sources.
