Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP)

The Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) is a solution for enabling gen AI agents to make payments on behalf of users, safely, securely, and in a decentralized and privacy protecting manner. This protocol is a part of the broader ecosystem, which includes agentic protocols like A2A and MCP, and encompasses the global nature of payments.
