Notes from the protocol. Architecture, performance, and the work in front of us.

A deep dive into how ACP computes trust scores across independent storefronts without a central authority. Covers Bayesian aggregation, decay functions, and cross-platform reputation portability.

We benchmarked the ACP query pipeline end-to-end across 10,000 storefronts. Here is how we achieved p99 latencies under 200ms with tiered caching, connection pooling, and adaptive fan-out.

Traditional REST APIs were designed for human-driven UIs. Agent commerce demands structured negotiation, semantic product understanding, and machine-readable trust signals. We explain why ACP exists.

When an AI agent commits funds on behalf of a user, the stakes are higher than a typical checkout. Here is how ACP escrow works: time-locked releases, dispute resolution, and fraud detection.

Dynamic pricing across thousands of storefronts means millions of price updates per hour. We walk through the event-driven architecture, cache invalidation strategy, and consistency guarantees behind ACP pricing.

Trust is the fundamental primitive of agent commerce. This post covers the cryptographic verification, behavioral scoring, and transparency mechanisms that make ACP transactions trustworthy.

Certification is now live. Learn why it matters, what's tested, how to get certified, and the four certification levels.
