AAA and Integra Ledger launch Legal Context Protocol for AI agent payments

The American Arbitration Association and Integra Ledger introduced LCP, an open standard that serves a merchant's legal terms, consent record and dispute path at /.well-known/legal-context.json so AI agents can verify terms before paying. Version 1.0 is out for review under Apache 2.0, with Google, IBM, Circle and Stellar among founding contributors.

• LCP serves a merchant's terms in one JSON file at /.well-known/legal-context.json
• Only one required field: terms, an absolute URL to a downloadable terms document
• Four trust levels: informational, provable, signed and integrated
• Founding contributors include Google, IBM, Circle, Wayfair, Stellar, Ava Labs and UiPath
