ECOSYSTEM

The economic operating system
for autonomous AI.

x402 handles payments. MCP handles discovery. A2A handles communication. ERC-8004 handles identity. But when an AI agent pays for a service, nothing verifies the service is any good. Aegis sits in that exact gap.

The protocol stack.

Where Aegis sits in the AI agent infrastructure.

Settlement
Solana

400ms finality, sub-cent transactions, 49% of x402 volume

All Aegis transactions settle here. Bonds, slashing, revenue splits.

Payments
x402 (Coinbase)

HTTP-native micropayments. 100M+ payment flows processed.

Every operator invocation is an x402 payment. USDC in, $AEGIS out.

Trust
Aegis Protocol

Bonded validation, on-chain reputation, economic slashing.

THE MISSING LAYER. Between 'services exist' and 'services are trustworthy.'

Discovery
MCP (Linux Foundation)

97M monthly SDK downloads. Standard for agent-to-tool communication.

Agents discover Aegis operators via MCP. Server Cards enable auto-discovery.

Communication
A2A (Google)

Agent-to-agent protocol. Multi-agent collaboration.

A2A agents use Aegis to verify operator quality before delegation.

Identity
ERC-8004 / 8004-Solana

On-chain agent identity. Metaplex Core NFTs with reputation.

Identity says WHO you are. Aegis says HOW GOOD you are.

Visa authenticates the buyer.
Aegis validates the seller.

These are complementary, not competitive. Their entry validates the market.

The first protocol to own "trust for AI agents on Solana" wins a category that every analyst predicts will exist.
