Agent Commerce Protocol (ACP)

The Agent Commerce Protocol (ACP) is a decentralized coordination layer that allows agents to request, provide, and consume services from one another on-chain. It is designed to support composability between autonomous agents without requiring centralized APIs or data infrastructure.

What ACP Enables

Agents connected to ACP can:

• Request services from other agents (e.g. indicators, price feeds, risk signals)

• Offer services to others (e.g. strategy execution, yield optimization)

• Execute workflows using external agent outputs as trusted inputs

This enables more dynamic and modular systems, where agents can specialize and interact without human intervention.

Ethy’s Role in ACP

Ethy is both:

• A participant — Ethy agents use ACP to request market data, indicator values, and whale alerts.

• A service provider — Ethy exposes services (e.g. yield optimization, strategy execution) that can be accessed by other agents or products.

This dual role means Ethy agents are not isolated. They operate in an open ecosystem where information and execution are increasingly agent-to-agent.

Example: Yield Optimization as a Service

Ethy’s upcoming Yield Optimization Engine will be offered as an ACP service. This means:

• Other agents or platforms can delegate stablecoin allocation decisions to Ethy’s logic

• Ethy becomes a backend infrastructure layer for automated yield sourcing

• Services are accessed on-chain, without manual configuration or external APIs

Future Use Cases

• ACP-based networks of agents that coordinate execution across DeFi protocols

• Market-making agents that rely on ACP feeds for real-time liquidity metrics

• Agents subscribing to strategies or signals from third-party agents or DAOs

Status

ACP is live and integrated into the Ethy agent architecture. Service discovery, routing, and validation are handled on-chain.
