Neutral infrastructure for the agentic economy

The neutral conduit for agentic trade

In the agentic economy, no agent will work through 500 human-first storefronts one by one:

CaptchasManual sign-upHand-entered cards3D-SecureA new checkout every time

They will call one neutral interface. Conduit is that interface — one account, thousands of merchants; deals discovered, negotiated, and closed in minutes. No fees. No human in the loop.

Why now

Agents just got hands and wallets.

MCP is in the assistant layer. Agents hold stablecoin and card rails. Consent standards like AP2 and x402 are live. The behavior is already here: the same shift that produced "just ask an agent to code it" is producing "just ask an agent to restock it."

The protocol layer

Every agentic-commerce standard, spoken on your behalf.

The wire format is being commoditized to zero by trillion-dollar consortia. Conduit will not try to be the protocol — it is the decision-and-execution layer above all of them. One identity; every handshake.
UCPUniversal Commerce Protocol

Normalized merchant, product, and fulfillment schemas — one shared catalog format.

Conduit speaks it for you: Adopted as the internal normalized model — normalization and tracking come essentially free.

ACPAgentic Commerce Protocol

Product feeds plus a checkout handshake an agent can complete.

Conduit speaks it for you: Ridden as one discovery input; reputation and execution stay ours.

AP2Agent Payments Protocol

Human-approved spend mandates — set the limits once, pay anywhere.

Conduit speaks it for you: Translated from a single agent keypair into a mandate the merchant trusts.

x402HTTP 402 payments

Trackable crypto payments agents make natively over the web.

Conduit speaks it for you: One of the payable rails an agent can hold and Conduit can route to.

A2CNAgent-to-agent negotiation

Agents negotiate bulk pricing and terms directly with merchant agents.

Conduit speaks it for you: A negotiation engine: fan out to suppliers, compare negotiated quotes.

More as they emerge

New standards keep arriving — and plenty of supply still lives behind plain native APIs. Conduit adopts each one and rates every source for agent-friendliness (AES), so you never have to.

The risk — and why neutrality wins

A walled garden is the wrong home for an autonomous agent.

Autonomous checkout is being wired into walled gardens — Google’s and Shopify’s today, every other giant’s tomorrow. Inside a garden, a gatekeeper controls the things an agent should never need permission for:
Merchant access
Approved allowlist only
Every merchant
Products & deals
Censored / curated
Full visibility
Payment & delivery
Restricted rails & carriers
Any payable rail or carrier
Ranking
Ad-driven, pay-for-rank
Merit: price × AES × reliability × reputation
Fees
Per-transaction toll
No fee between agent and merchant
Checkout
Human-gated
Autonomous-first
Ownership
Owned by one giant
Beholden to none

Monopoly control is the opposite of what the agentic era needs: an agent should search, filter, and decide across all supply on the merits — not inside one monopoly’s fenced, monetized, human-gated channel.

Conduit is the neutral ground. Every payable rail, every carrier, every merchant — the agent chooses.

What Conduit is

The decision-and-execution layer above every protocol.

One signup, then discover and buy across UCP, ACP, AP2/x402, native supplier APIs, and the scraped long tail — without learning any of them.

Agentic Execution Score (AES)

Can an agent actually finish this checkout end-to-end, with a rail it holds — or does it hit a human wall? Outcome-calibrated over real orders, not a static guess.

Two-sided reputation

Outcome-driven and earned per order. Suppliers earn rank by delivering; agents earn trust by paying and completing. Nothing is for sale.

Normalized product + carrier graph

Deduplicated products, per-carrier delivery options, and stated-vs-observed signal — so an agent compares quality and delivery, not just price.

Demand aggregation (GPO)

Pooled demand unlocks volume pricing a solo buyer could not get. Better prices over time — never paid ranking. Conduit gets a modest slice of the savings we create.

No custody. Money never touches Conduit. We are not a marketplace, a warehouse, a merchant of record, or a money transmitter.

For merchants

Enter the agentic world in minutes, not quarters.

Your storefront was not built for agents. Install a plugin — Shopify App, CRM connector, or MCP integration — and Conduit exposes your live stock, rails, lead times, and carriers to autonomous buyers. Deep data integration makes you discoverable and transactable; two-sided reputation rewards merchants who actually deliver; aggregated demand brings volume you could not win alone. No paid ranking — you earn rank by performing.
Step 1DiscoveredYou appear in the catalog via UCP/MCP reads, public feeds, or probing. No action required.
Step 2Probed & scoredConduit measures your real checkout, stock accuracy, and delivery — seeding your AES.
Step 3Flip in ~10 minInstall the plugin to expose live inventory, pricing, carriers, and a negotiator.
Step 4Live data + GPOBecome first-party: real-time data, all rails enabled, and access to pooled demand.
For buyers

One account. Thousands of merchants. Decisions in minutes.

Your agent searches every merchant at once and ranks the results on what actually matters — then closes the deal in minutes, at no extra cost vs. going direct (often cheaper). See success rate and on-time rate before you pay.

Order command center

Secure 100 deals across 100 merchants — watch them all from one account.

Every order and intent, across every protocol and merchant, lands in a single board: live status and tracking with stated-vs-observed ETA, the rail each was paid on, and the merchant + product rating you bought against. When something goes wrong, friendly paths to review, dispute, escalate, or chargeback are one click away — and a human can step in anytime.
MCP walkthrough

An agent transacts in minutes.

Every Conduit tool returns the data an agent actually decides on: stated vs observed delivery, payable rails, product and merchant ratings, execution-readiness, and per-carrier reliability. Know which checkout is reliable before you pay.

For investors

Infrastructure ahead of demand.

The Stripe/Plaid pattern for agentic procurement. As autonomous checkout fragments into two gardens, the durable prize is neutral, cross-garden B2B procurement that no gatekeeper will serve. Conduit is the neutral hub — the arms dealer to the anti-garden coalition — owning the compounding assets: execution score, reputation graph, supplier roster, demand aggregation.

Why it compounds

More orders
Better AES + reputation
Better outcomes
More agents
More merchant flips
