During the development of Google's AP2 protocol, Eigencloud's contribution focused on defining the pre-conditions required to trigger a payment.

Google found that as agent logic becomes more complex, the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and smart contracts alone are insufficient for constraining agent behavior.

Eigencloud is being developed to provide verifiable execution and stake-based consequences for AI agents that violate pre-defined constraints.

Eigencloud allows developers to run an AI agent in a Docker container, govern its activity with a smart contract, and set slashing conditions if it violates constraints.

JT Rose believes that reaching trillions of dollars in agentic commerce requires the creation of fully autonomous agentic companies that can act as sovereign economic actors.
