The Agent Commerce Protocol (ACP) is a standardized framework designed for secure and verifiable transactions between autonomous agents in a decentralized environment.
ACP consists of four phases: Request, Negotiation, Transaction, and Evaluation, implemented via smart contracts on a blockchain.
ACP leverages key characteristics of blockchain technology, such as trustless execution, verifiable immutable data, and seamless value transfer.
A practical case study demonstrates ACP's utility in a multi-agent lemonade stand scenario, highlighting the role of evaluator agents in ensuring service quality.
