IETF Publishes AGTP-COMMERCE Draft for Agent-to-Agent Commerce

In June 2026 the IETF released draft-hood-agtp-commerce-00, a protocol for agent-to-agent commerce. It covers cryptographic agent identity, merchant registries, transaction routing and dispute metadata, but leaves open how to prove that payment actually executed.

• Draft-hood-agtp-commerce-00 was published by the IETF in June 2026
• The protocol defines agent identity via public keys and registries
• Transaction metadata includes parties, terms and signatures for audit
• The settlement proof layer for agent payments remains unsolved
