Edge&Node Launches Ampersend Platform, Bridging Self-Sovereign AI Agent Governance and Transactions

BlockBeats News, October 31, The Graph development team Edge & Node announced the launch of the management platform Ampersend, which can coordinate the operation and transaction methods of autonomous AI agents.

Ampersend is built on Coinbase's x402 payment protocol and Google's A2A (Agent-to-Agent) communication framework, adding automation, observability, and compliance control features to the emerging "agentic economy." Enterprises can set spending limits, manage policies, and track activity across networks through the unified dashboard provided by Ampersend.

Edge & Node collaborated with Coinbase, Google, and the Ethereum Foundation's decentralized AI team to develop this platform. Additionally, the system integrates emerging Ethereum standards like ERC-8004, which are mainly used for agent discovery and reputation tracking.

Edge & Node CEO Rodrigo Coelho stated that the company is preparing for a future where "digital agents lead a significant portion of global business activities." A recent report released by the venture capital firm a16z predicts that by 2030, AI agent-driven procurement could reach $30 trillion. The goal of Ampersend is to provide transparency and control capabilities for this transformation.

Edge & Node announced that they will first hold an online discussion with Coinbase, Google, and the Ethereum teams through X Spaces, followed by a presentation of Ampersend at the Pragma conference in Buenos Aires on November 20.
