Agent Economy

Research direction

Building infrastructure for the next generation of the agent economy.

Exploring how AI agents can collaborate autonomously in the digital economy, focusing on agent identity, digital wallets, payment and settlement, A2A communication, and trusted transaction protocols.

We are working to advance AI from a tool for processing information into an intelligent system that, within the authorized scope, can discover services, negotiate tasks, complete payments, and take part in economic collaboration.

OpenAPI x402 discovery

Four technical research directions

These four items are research directions, not capabilities already built.

Agent Identity · Agent identity

Identity identifiers, authentication, permission management, and verifiable credentials.

Agent Payments · Agent payments

Digital wallets, authorized payments, transaction limits, and automatic settlement.

A2A Collaboration · Agent collaboration

Service discovery, task delegation, and communication and collaboration across agents.

Trust Infrastructure · Trust infrastructure

Verifiable transactions, audit records, permission controls, and dispute-handling mechanisms.

Existing x402 tools

Calls checked by an unpaid response, and the scope of each call.

Project status stays on the Research direction label above. This block lists only calls whose unpaid request returned HTTP 402 with an accepts amount. An HTTP 402 means that call requires payment. tariff-rate is shelved and is not listed.

GET /v1/ping — 402 amount 10000 (0.01 USDC). Paid ping.
GET /v1/landed-cost — 402 amount 50000 (0.05 USDC). Landed-cost estimate, not a customs filing.
POST /v1/pretrade-check — 402 amount 100000 (0.10 USDC). Does not place a trade.
POST /v1/sourcing-request — 402 amount 100000 (0.10 USDC). Does not contact suppliers or place an order.

Research and information only — not investment advice. No promised returns.

Boundaries

Estimates, not customs advice. Sourcing does not contact suppliers or place orders. Pre-trade check never places trades.
