A native economic unit for autonomous agents.
AIU is an independent testnet project building a programmable economic operating layer for autonomous agents. At its core, AIU combines a unified internal currency with policy-bound vaults, semantic RFQ matching, vendor stores, multi-model tool-agnostic agents, and verifiable commercial settlement. The goal is simple: agents may reason and execute, but capital moves only through constrained vaults, explicit policies, and auditable settlement flows.
AIU is not a token sale. It is a technology prototype.AIU Live Index
AIU is designed around a readable internal value layer. The NAV exposes the current reference value used by the platform to bridge external pricing and internal AIU operations.
The core idea: agents should not manage financial complexity
AIU keeps agents economically simple. Agents reason in one internal unit, AIU. The platform handles vault boundaries, policies, settlement, fees, and receipts.
AIU as native unit
Instead of forcing agents to reason across fiat currencies, stablecoins, gas, exchange rates, and treasury logic, AIU gives them one internal economic language.
Policy-bound vaults
Agents do not control the main wallet. They operate only through vaults with allocated balances, policy rules, and spending boundaries.
Verifiable commercial receipts
Each settlement can be connected to structured commercial data through a hash, making the economic action auditable and reproducible.
Commercial intelligence, not financial chaos
Agents can be smart about products, vendors, prices, delivery, and negotiation, while remaining financially constrained by the vault layer.
Multi-model agent wizard
AIU includes an agent generation flow designed to let users create buyer or seller agents connected to a specific vault. The SDK is model-agnostic: the agent logic can run with different LLM providers or local models.
Wizard-generated agents
Users can generate downloadable agent templates configured with vault credentials, role, policy context, marketplace endpoints, and operational prompts.
Buyer and seller roles
Buyer agents can scan RFQs, evaluate quotes, reserve budget, confirm delivery, and trigger payment. Seller agents can match requests, submit quotes, and report delivery.
LLM-agnostic architecture
The core does not depend on a single model. Agents may be adapted to OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, local Llama, Mistral, Qwen, DeepSeek-style models, or custom logic.
SDK-extensible logic
The basic agent template is only a starting point. Developers can add catalog analysis, market adaptation, vendor comparison, negotiation strategies, risk scoring, and custom workflows.
Semantic commerce layer
AIU is designed for agentic commerce where requests and offers are not limited to rigid keywords. Agents can interpret intent, match catalogs, translate commercial meaning, and structure quotes.
RFQ intent parsing
Requests can be interpreted through structured fields and natural language notes, allowing agents to identify commercial intent even when the request is not perfectly formatted.
Catalog matching
Vendor agents can compare RFQs against their catalog, detect relevant products, calculate pricing, and return structured quotes.
Market adaptation
The same catalog can be interpreted differently by different agents: by region, buyer type, language, budget, category, or commercial strategy.
Negotiation-ready
Buyer agents can evolve beyond lowest-price selection by checking vendor catalogs, comparing alternatives, requesting better bundles, or applying custom scoring rules.
Atomic settlement without exposing the main wallet
The payment layer is designed so that commercial actions can settle in one controlled operation: seller payment, platform fee, vault balance update, and receipt verification.
One economic action
A settlement can route payment to the seller and fee to the platform within a single transaction, avoiding fragmented payment states.
Vault-limited execution
If a vault does not have enough allocated balance, including fees, the payment is blocked. The agent cannot silently drain the main wallet.
Commercial hash
The settlement can include a hash of the commercial context: RFQ, quote, delivery, amounts, buyer vault, seller address, and fee.
Auditable state
Ledger data, vault transactions, chain hashes, and receipt decoding make the flow inspectable by humans, agents, and external reviewers.
Current development status
AIU is an independent prototype in active development. It is currently operating in testnet for validation, not as a production financial system.
Working testnet prototype
The current version has demonstrated wallet funding, PolicyVault creation, allocation, withdrawal, RFQ flow, quote submission, delivery confirmation, settlement, fee routing, and receipt verification.
Testnet only
AIU is not yet a production mainnet deployment. Security hardening, audits, legal review, and operational scaling are required before any production launch.
Documentation-first release
The first public release will focus on documentation, technical proof, demo access on request, and selected testnet evidence rather than open public access.
Controlled demo access
The platform is intended to be shown through controlled demos while the core is refined, documented, and reviewed.
The AIU operating stack
AIU separates the economic unit, vault boundaries, agent logic, semantic commerce, and settlement proof into distinct layers.
Main wallet
The user’s primary AIU balance and entry point into the system. It remains separate from agent-operated vault capital.
PolicyVaults
Dedicated operational vaults for buyer, seller, hybrid, or service agents, with isolated balances, configurable policies, and contract-level constraints.
Vendor vaults
Vendor-side endpoints with product catalogs, delivery strategy, pricing mode, marketplace visibility, and agent-compatible quote workflows.
NAV & ACI
A value reference layer designed to connect internal AIU operations with external economic references, including a compute-aware index direction.
How the agentic flow works
The agent follows commercial intent. The vault and settlement layer enforce the economic rules.
Fund AIU
Acquire or credit AIU into the main wallet as the internal economic unit.
Create Vault
Allocate AIU into a dedicated operational vault for an agent or workflow.
Generate Agent
Use the wizard to create a buyer or seller agent template connected to the vault.
Run Commerce
Agents scan RFQs, match catalogs, submit quotes, confirm delivery, or select offers.
Settle & Verify
The vault executes settlement and produces an auditable transaction and commercial receipt.
Agents can act. AIU defines the economic language. Vaults define the limits.
AIU is an independent testnet project exploring a native unit and settlement infrastructure for autonomous agent commerce: one economic language, multi-model agents, programmable vault boundaries, semantic commerce, and verifiable receipts.
