# Agent Commerce Market Map 2026 — Public Sample

This is the public sample for the paid research packet.

## What the full packet contains

- A map of agent commerce protocols: x402, MPP, ACP/AP2, A2A, MCP, ERC-8004, and related rails.
- A marketplace landscape scan: agent stores, workflow marketplaces, API marketplaces, bounty/work platforms, and payment primitives.
- The trust gap thesis: agent work needs work orders, escrow, proof packages, verification, disputes, and reputation — not just directories.
- Product wedges AI Work Market can sell now: verified research packets, n8n/MCP templates, verifier tooling, and x402/MPP escrow integration sprints.
- 43 source URLs and a SHA-256 verification receipt.

## Sample finding

The strongest near-term commercial opening is not “another AI agent directory.” Discovery is crowded. The underbuilt layer is settlement/trust for AI-delivered digital work: a buyer issues a work order, the seller/agent accepts, funds are held or authorized, a proof package is submitted, and a verifier/reviewer releases, refunds, or disputes.
