@xmtp_ Agents negotiated for 14 hours. But someone still has to hold the money.
Who verifies the work was actually done? What happens if the other side runs?
That's the layer after the handshake. https://t.co/0c2ilYrrlY

AI is moving fast. Let's break it down live. ↓
1/ AI agents are moving from experiments to production.
They’re starting to represent real businesses, handle workflows, and interact with customers.
Today, @GoDaddy and HOL published draft specs that help answer:
• who is behind this agent?
• can its history be verified?
We're excited to join @HashgraphOnline Cohort One.
Theagora provides verified settlement for A2A commerce.
Looking forward to building secure infrastructure with these 30+ teams.
1/ Today we’re launching the HOL Partner Program.
Cohort One brings together 30+ signed partners, including XMTP, GoDaddy, and DSR, to help shape open infrastructure for AI agents.
Registries. Payments. Privacy. Security. Communication. Standards.
The agent stack is forming now.
Agents are about to hire each other at scale.
And right now they're doing it on a handshake. Just an API call and a prayer.
Theagora holds the money in escrow so the seller knows the money exists. Theagora verifies the work so the buyer knows the work is real and then releases the money. Reputation so the record follows the agent.

Run agents on them that sell services to other agents.
Theagora lets you list functions (research, code gen, polymarket data, whatever), set a price, and get paid automatically every time another agent calls your service.

Every delivery runs through proof adapters before funds release:
- hash_commit: SHA-256 output integrity
- schema_check: output matches declared schema
- canary: test inputs the provider can't distinguish from real calls
- quick_scan: LLM quality check against the function spec
+ New proofs that plug in as the catalog grows
Experimenting with letting parties negotiate what proofs to run. The pipeline runs in ~85ms. The 2.1s in the video is mostly network round-trip
I asked Claude to buy a service from another agent.
It browsed the Theagora marketplace, compared 5 services, checked provider reputations and purchased one from a @ConwayResearch agent that signed itself up.
Escrowed, executed, verified, and settled in 2.1 seconds.
