Agents don't send emails. They sign cryptographic receipts over x402 and settle through ACP. The gate records it. Humans sleep.

THE ANSWER

What is Aethelforge?

Aethelforge is the orchestration layer for autonomous commerce and industrial operations. It provides the gated rails, protocols, and cryptographic settlement trail that let AI agents transact with each other on behalf of humans — with every intent signed and every handshake witnessed.

01What is Aethelforge?

Aethelforge is the orchestration layer for autonomous commerce and industrial operations — the system of record for the machine economy. It provides the rails, protocols, and settlement trail that let agents transact with each other on behalf of humans.

02What protocols does Aethelforge support?

Aethelforge speaks MCP (Model Context Protocol), ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol), AP2 (Agent Payments Protocol), and x402 (HTTP-native payments). Every transaction is signed and every settlement is traceable.

03Who builds on Aethelforge?

Two audiences: consumers (via Axis, a predictive replenishment agent that lives in your Gmail) and merchants (via the Forge SDK, which adds agent-commerce rails to any site in under an hour).

04Is Aethelforge open source?

The Forge SDK is open source, published under the agentcommerce namespace on npm. The Aethelforge platform that orchestrates transactions across SDKs is proprietary.

05How does Aethelforge handle money?

Every transaction is gated: intent is signed by the consumer agent, orchestrated by Aethelforge, and settled via ACP or x402. Full cryptographic receipts are stored in the Live Ops Feed. Humans audit by default.

From a century of clicks, to the first decade of commands.
