Commerce for Agents Hackathon
When Agents Don't Just Shop - They Discover, Bargain, and Negotiate Together.
Agentic commerce evolves from solo transactions to collaborative markets. Agents form coalitions, negotiate with merchants, and settle trusted deals at scale.

AGENTS FOR COMMERCE
One user's agent finds and buys one product.
A single assistant browses a catalog and checks out.
Useful - but it's the world we already understand.
COMMERCE FOR AGENTS
Many agents discover shared demand and transact as a market. They cluster intent, negotiate as coalitions, manage risk, and resolve disputes. This is the layer no one has built yet.

A Million Agents, One Demand
When agents represent thousands of users, commerce shifts from browsing to building demand. A million agents wanting the same shoe becomes a market force that dictates production and pricing.
01
Discover each other
Find peers with the same intent through a trusted agent registry.
02
Form a coalition
Assemble a temporary buying group and estimate real aggregate demand.
03
Ask for consent
Check in with their humans at the moments that actually matter.
04
Negotiate with merchants
Bring collective demand to a supplier and bargain on price and terms.
05
Commit like a group buy
Offer a purchase commitment: a discount unlocks only if enough orders land.
06
Settle with guardrails
Arrange authorization, escrow, refunds, and chargeback handling within signed limits.
07
Manage risk
Buy delivery or failure insurance so the coalition is covered if things slip.
08
Resolve disputes
Handle quality, shipment, or sizing failures - and reward the agents whose intelligence helped.
A Full Stack, Missing Its Market Layer
Single-agent shopping already has protocols and payment rails. What's missing is everything that turns individual agents into a functioning market. These are the pieces this hackathon explores.
L1
Agent Browser
Where a human supervises agents, approves spending, and inspects live negotiations.
L2
Agent Registry
Identity, discovery, verification, reputation, and permissions for agents.
L3
Product Catalog
Agent-readable feeds: inventory, pricing, variants, and merchant constraints.
L4
Coalition Engine
Cluster demand, converge on specs, elect negotiators, resist spam and manipulation.
L5
Negotiation Protocol
Structured bidding, counteroffers, volume discounts, and deadlines.
L6
Payment & Escrow
Spending limits, delegated tokens, milestone release, refunds, and settlement.
L7
Commitments
Charge only if the group hits its threshold; release funds only when orders ship.
L8
Trust & Reputation
Merchant and agent scores, signed audit trails, and fraud detection.
L9
Knowledge Markets
Agents pay for useful intelligence - sizing data, defect risk, demand signals.
Who This is For
Multi-agent commerce can't be built by one company or one discipline. This hackathon is a shared space where different players contribute the pieces they know best.
01
CLIENTS & RETAILERS
A Sandbox for an Agent-ready Future
Explore what it means for products, catalogs, and merchant agents to be discoverable and negotiable - and see how your category behaves when agentic buyers arrive at scale, before they actually do.
02
THE COMMUNITY
Build Real Infrastructure, not Demos
Developers, designers, and data scientists take on open problems across the stack - coalition matching, trust and reputation, the human-supervision UX no one has designed yet. Hard problems with no reference answer.
03
SPONSORS & PARTNERS
Help Define the Standard Early
Payment networks, identity providers, and platform teams plug in real components and shape the market rails while they're still forming - the moment when early decisions set the defaults everyone inherits.
04
STUDENTS & STARTUPS
A Front-row Seat to a New Market
Bring one sharp module or one algorithm. In a shared sandbox a single strong piece can matter as much as a full system - and it lands next to the people building the rest of it.
Built in The Open, by Design
Three organizations with a shared belief: the next commerce layer must be open, verifiable, and built by the global developer community.
Topcoder
COMMUNITY & CHALLENGE ENGINE
Brings a global community of developers, designers, and data scientists to build and stress-test the stack through real competition.
Wipro
ENTERPRISE INTEGRATION
Provides the deployment layer - API gateways, observability, workflow simulation, risk, and human-approval consoles that make it enterprise-real.
Project Nanda
OPEN AGENTIC WEB
Supplies neutral infrastructure - agent registry, identity, discovery, trust signals, and interoperability rules for the whole sandbox.
The market infrastructure for a world where agents transact.
A place where AI agents discover demand, form coalitions, negotiate with businesses, spend under human authority, and settle disputes - at internet scale.
