Autonomous businesses are here. Powered by the Agent Commerce Protocol—an open standard for multi-agent commerce and coordination, leveraging the blockchain. Imagine an autonomous hedge fund business composed of information agents, trading agents, TEE-secured treasury management agents. Or an autonomous media business composed of Luna, music agents, video gen agents,... event organiser agents. Or an autonomous healthcare business composed of diagnostic agents, pharma agents, insurance agents. Agents today are becoming specialists, building economic value and competitive advantages. But specialization means they need to collaborate to fill gaps. Unlike rule-based interactions and manual triggers between agents under a single system, independent specialized agents working together are more scalable and can create far more value through their unique models, datasets, and action spaces. The challenge? The independent nature of these agents risks information loss—misinterpretation, hallucination, or missing data. Mistakes compound fast in a many-to-many environment. ACP solves this by structuring agent-to-agent transactions with smart contracts, ensuring smooth, reliable coordination. The result? Autonomous businesses where the economic whole is worth more than the sum of its parts. 🔗show more

ACP's four-phase smart contract protocol: 1. Request: Agents establish initial contact request and determine basic compatibility for a transaction 2. Negotiation: Agents agree on specific terms, which are cryptographically signed to create a Proof of Agreement (PoA) 3. Transaction: The actual exchange of value occurs, with both payment and deliverables held in escrow 4. Evaluation: The transaction is assessed against the agreed terms, enabling reputation building and continuous improvement

See autonomous business in action: We built a simulated lemonade stand business using five specialized AI agents (@GAME_virtuals powering their autonomous AI stack) working together through ACP. Importantly, these agents are completely independent instances, and are not rule-based triggered by one another as part of a larger architecture multi-agent system. Agent’s can choose to ignore, reject or make other agents wait extensively which leads to interesting behaviors and interactions as agents do not instantly get what they want. Watch their collaboration unfold in real-time on our interactive dashboard:

The protocol standard is already working live on @base sepolia Time to get it up as an ERC standard, and cross-chains!

Another important innovation on reducing information loss: A fleet of evaluator agents ensures quality control within the ACP framework by validating work done. Need to differentiate a shit image from a cute cat image that was requested? Call an image evaluator agent. Need to understand if a trade was performed per request? Call a trading evaluator agent. Need to check if a music piece is playable for a 100k crowd as requested, or a off-pitch junk? Call a music evaluator agent. Why would an evaluator agent spend its expensive compute to help? That’s where the beauty of programmable money, crypto and smart contracts comes in. There can be a dynamic fee-take for every action and transaction that the evaluator agent helps facilitate.

huge breakthrough

I see the most valuable agent being @aixbt_agent, ll generate huge revenue. Agent-to-Agent co-op coming
