Promote with Leviathan NewsCelo has announced an integration with Virtuals Protocol to enable “agentic commerce” on the Celo blockchain, allowing developers to deploy autonomous AI agents that can discover services, negotiate terms, and transact using onchain infrastructure. Virtuals provides a commerce layer called the Agent Commerce Protocol (ACP), which coordinates secure, verifiable exchanges between AI agents and service providers, with transactions recorded onchain and managed via escrow and cryptographic proofs. This gives Celo developers standardized tools to build and monetize AI agents that perform real economic activity, from payments to service fulfillment, without relying on centralized intermediaries. According to Virtuals, ACP structures agent-to-agent interactions into four phases—request, negotiation, transaction, and evaluation—across roles such as client, provider, and evaluator, enabling more complex autonomous workflows and a market for specialized evaluation agents. On Celo, this means AI agents can interact with DeFi, payments, and other onchain services in a programmable, trust-minimized way, aligning with Celo’s positioning as a mobile-first, real-world use case–oriented L1. The partnership is being framed as part of a broader trend toward agentic commerce, where AI systems handle discovery, decision-making, and payment execution on behalf of users, bridging AI and Web3 by giving autonomous agents native access to crypto rails and verifiable settlement.
