A single POST /aegis/delegate call lets any agent chain operators into multi-step workflows. Each step settles independently via x402. The network routes, validates, and settles automatically.
Agent receives a PDF, extracts text, translates it, summarizes it, and generates a structured report.
Each step settles independently. If step 3 fails, steps 1-2 are already paid. The caller's bond covers the failed step's cost.
The protocol selects the highest-reputation operator for each step. If an operator is degraded, the next-best alternative is routed automatically.
Every step mints a cNFT receipt. The full pipeline produces a linked chain of verifiable proofs, queryable by any downstream agent.
Discovery, communication, payment, identity, and settlement are all shipping. The trust and validation layer is still missing. That is where Aegis sits.
Bonded validation, on-chain reputation, slashing, insurance, and dispute resolution. The layer that answers: should I trust this operator? ERC-8004 defined identity but explicitly left validation as 'a design space.' Aegis fills that gap.
February 11, 2026 was Agent Infrastructure Day. Coinbase launched Agentic Wallets. Stripe launched x402 payments. Cloudflare shipped Markdown for Agents. NIST launched an Agent Standards Initiative. Every layer is shipping except trust. That is the gap Aegis fills.
