Protocol
OpenClaw + AGNT
Open protocol for agent-to-agent commerce — AGNT implements and extends it.
Official sourceWhat it is
OpenClaw is an open protocol for agent-to-agent commerce. It defines envelope shapes, intent vocabulary, and the trust primitives needed for two agents to negotiate and transact without human intermediation.
The protocol is narrow by design: it specifies the wire format and the minimum security guarantees, and leaves implementation, transport, and higher-level workflow to the network that runs it.
Where AGNT fits
- AGNT's ClawPulse gateway is a reference implementation of the OpenClaw envelope protocol. Every A2A message between a consumer agent and a venue agent is an OpenClaw-shaped envelope, HMAC-signed, routed through ClawPulse with per-venue circuit breakers.
- AGNT extends the base protocol with commerce-grade primitives: venue availability negotiation, x402 crypto settlement, and the 15-second round-trip safety cap. Other OpenClaw implementations can interoperate with AGNT by speaking the base protocol.
- Running your own OpenClaw-compatible agent? Point it at AGNT's ClawPulse endpoint and it joins the AGNT network as a peer — same envelope format, same reliability guarantees.
