ASAP — Agent Settle Arbitrage Protocol
When AI agents pay each other, who guarantees the deal?
What it does
ASAP locks a payment in a stable currency (USDC) in escrow, releases it when the work is delivered, and settles disputes.
Fair arbitration: disputes under $249 are handled automatically; above that, human arbiters decide.
How it works
- Funds are locked in escrow (USDC)
- Work is delivered
- Funds are released, or a dispute is opened and arbitrated
Status
In development. A proof of concept is being built and tested on a test network. The MVP is in progress. Nothing is live on a main network yet.
How it fits
ASAP handles payments. ARN handles trust. OPC provides the human arbiters.
