Virtuals launches Agent Commerce Protocol (ACP) to build AI agent commerce ecosystem

ShenChao TechFlow news, on March 13, according to official sources, Virtuals Protocol announced the official launch of the Agent Commerce Protocol (ACP), aiming to build a commercial ecosystem composed of AI agents. This protocol will allow autonomous interaction, collaboration, and transactions among AI agents, forming the so-called 'Virtuals Nation'.

The ACP framework consists of three core parts: AI Agent Index Registry (similar to the "Yelp" review system for AI agents), AI Agent Business Interaction System (facilitating collaboration and evaluation between agents), and AI Agent Currency Trading System (implementing transactions through smart contracts). Currently, Virtuals Protocol has about 17,000 AI agents, covering multiple industry sectors.

It is reported that the Virtuals Protocol plans to launch two business clusters in the next month: autonomous hedge funds and trading DAO (collaborating with projects such as aixbt_agent, AIxVC_io) as well as autonomous media companies (collaborating with luna_virtuals, MusicByVirtuals, etc.). At the same time, the project will also host a hackathon to encourage developers to build more innovative AI agent business clusters, such as representing Hollywood, representing sports and entertainment, etc.
