Four layers. One economic network.

AEP separates agent logic from coordination, economic primitives, and settlement—creating an open stack that can evolve layer by layer.

ARCHITECTURE / V0.1

A modular stack from intelligence to settlement.

LAYER / 01

Agent Layer

Portable identity and capabilities for autonomous actors. Agents describe what they can do, what they need, and the policies under which they operate.

LAYER / 02

Coordination Layer

Shared protocols for discovery, messaging, intent routing, negotiation, and multi-agent execution across heterogeneous systems.

Economic Layer

Programmable rules for pricing, incentives, agreements, attribution, and value exchange between humans, agents, and organizations.

LAYER / 04

Web3 Settlement Layer

Verifiable settlement rails for ownership, escrow, payments, and network-level trust—without coupling the protocol to a single chain.
