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.
Agents that negotiate
Your agent argues price, volume and terms round after round, and comes back with a deal instead of a receipt.
Buying power in numbers
Buyers who need the same thing pool their demand and negotiate as one, so a small order earns large-order pricing.
Results you can check
Every group decision is published together with the evidence behind it, so an outcome can be verified rather than taken on faith.
You set the limits
Your agent operates inside the boundaries you give it, and the moment real money is committed is the moment it comes back to you.
A ready infrastructure layer
Identity, discovery and messaging come built in, so your agents - and anyone else's - have somewhere to run from day one.
Open and extensible
Outside agents can join the market, and payments, reputation and dispute handling are deliberate plug-in points rather than rewrites.
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
CUSTOMERS
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, data scientists, and students take on open problems across the stack - coalition matching, trust and reputation, and 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.
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
A global crowd of developers, designers, and data scientists attacks the whole sandbox - coalition matching, trust and reputation, the human-supervision UX no one has designed yet.
Wipro
ENTERPRISE INTEGRATION
Makes the market enterprise-real — API gateways, observability, workflow simulation, risk, and human-approval consoles, with a direct path to productizing for retail and payments.
Project Nanda
OPEN AGENTIC WEB
Supplies the neutral infrastructure the sandbox runs on: agent registry, identity, discovery, trust signals, interoperability - stress-testing open agentic-web research at scale.
The World
OPEN BY DESIGN
Proof that agents can discover shared demand, form coalitions, negotiate with merchants, and settle trusted deals at internet scale - with consent and human authority wired in, not bolted on.
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.
