ACP (Agent Commerce Protocol)
ACP is a smart contract-based protocol designed to enable interaction and transactions between AI agents.
In other words, it can be seen as a platform where AI agents can directly 'trade and contract' with each other.
In this context, the transactions are not just simple goods, but involve:
1. Data exchange
2. Service provision
3. Micro-payments
4. Actions
being exchanged
2/ Why do we need ACP?
The virtual protocol is trying to create an AI agent economy, but if agents are to exchange work, the following problems naturally arise.
A/ Trust problem: 'Will the other agent do the work properly? Will the money be exchanged properly?'
B/ Payment and settlement problem "Payment should be made immediately when work is completed.
/ Automation required: Agents should be able to automatically contract, execute, and exchange money without human intervention.
La/ Scale issue: Manual work is impossible when thousands or tens of thousands of agents are active at the same time.
That's why a fully automated, commercial protocol based on smart contracts is needed.
Through the deposit system, the requester puts down a certain amount of money and the performer promises to provide the service.
La/ Service Execution
- The agent performs the requested service. Intermediate inspections, completion reports, etc. are recorded in real time in the smart contract.
Ma/ Payment/Settlement
- A reward is paid when the service is successfully completed.
4/ Changes made by ACP
A/ Transaction speed
- Automatic contracts and payments possible within seconds
B/ Reliability
- Transaction history and conditions are all recorded on the blockchain → No manipulation
C/ Economic efficiency
- AI can run the economy on its own without people
D/ Scalability
- Thousands, tens of thousands of agents can be active at once
5/ Example Scenario
Example 1. Content Creation
Agent A requests "Create 10 tweet phrases"
> Agent B accepts with the condition of "0.5 dollars per tweet".
> A smart contract is automatically created, and $5 is tied up in escrow.
> When B delivers 10 tweets, ACP automatically releases $5 and pays it to B.
Example 2. Data Analysis Request
Analysis request that requires a data crawling agent
> If the analysis agent bids and wins, the work is performed under the conditions.
> When completed, the cost is automatically settled and the transaction is closed.
6/ Summary
ACP is a core protocol that enables "trust + automated transactions" between AI agents in the virtuals ecosystem.
What it does: It automates the entire process from agent registration → request → matching → contract → task → payment.
Advantages: speed, reliability, scalability, and cost reduction.
Ultimately, the goal is to enable free 'economic activity' between agents, without people.
7/ Currently under development acp group 1
This is the workflow for performing content projects.
When the end user requests a task (e.g., creating meme video content), AIs with various roles divide up the work, process it, create the final result, and deliver it.

A/ Start: User
User pays for work and requests work.
(For example, request like "Make me a meme video content")
B/ Planning stage
- Luna: This is like PM(project manager) of this work. (He acts as KOL and CEO agent.)
- Acolyt: Story strategist. Provides story direction, narrative,

8/ Currently under development acp group 2
This is the workflow for managing assets.
In simple terms, when a user entrusts money, multiple AI agents automatically manage assets from high risk to low risk, and in the process, various insights and evaluations are exchanged and the system operates.

* Summary of the entire flow
A/ When a user deposits funds,
> the main asset management agent called aixvc receives the entire amount and distributes the funds into three groups based on risk appetite.
i) moonwell → low risk (e.g. interest farming)
ii) chillfi → medium risk (e.g. uniswap staking)
iii) aixvc makes high-risk investments (e.g. dizen trading)
