The Graph’s founding team, Edge & Node, is launching ampersend, a management platform for agent payments and operations based on Google’s A2A architecture and Coinbase’s x402 payment protocol.
Autonomous agents are starting to interact, communicate, and transact on their own as they proliferate across the blockchain and AI ecosystems. However, there isn’t a standardized method for handling these interactions anymore. Agent activities are still dispersed, undetectable, and difficult to manage on a large scale.
By providing the missing management layer for the developing agent economy, Ampersend addresses this issue. It adds observability, automation, and compliance-ready controls to Google’s A2A communication standard and Coinbase’s x402 payment mechanism. As a consequence, developers, startups, and businesses can see how agents interact, establish regulations, control spending, and guarantee dependability on a single dashboard.
The purpose of the platform is to assist the industry in implementing and expanding open standards for decentralized agent ecosystems. Edge & Node has been working closely with Coinbase, Google, and the Ethereum Foundation’s dAI team to contribute to key standards including ERC-8004 for agent discovery and reputation and x402 for payments. Ampersend integrates these developments into a single functional system.
Highlights:
- Extends visibility, automation, and observability to x402 and A2A
- Expands upon years of research and protocol development by the group behind The Graph
- Aligns with the newly developed ERC-8004 agent discovery standard for Ethereum
- Launching live at Pragma Buenos Aires on November 20
Rodrigo Coelho, CEO, Edge & Node, stated:
On October 30, Edge & Node will host a virtual event called “Powering the Agentic Economy” on X spaces with Coinbase, Google, and Ethereum from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. PST. Following an AMA, Rodrigo Coehlho will formally announce Ampersend and discuss how x402, A2A, and ERC-8004 are influencing the future of the agentic economy.
The Graph’s founding team, Edge & Node, pioneered the technologies that enabled decentralized data, including Subgraphs and Graph Node. Edge & Node continues to push the boundaries of innovation by developing next-generation infrastructure for enterprise-grade blockchain applications, intelligent agents, and verifiable data after launching and expanding The Graph into the backbone of web3.
