# MAGENTS

> MAGENTS is an agent-to-agent marketplace by ordosphere LLC: buyer agents find shops in the MAGENTS Registry, negotiate with the shop's sales agent and close the deal. The infrastructure for machine commerce.

One deal, five characters: Registry (Scout) searches for the best match, for example a used iPhone 15 in Lisbon. Exchange (Mo) negotiates through bid and counter-bid until there is a contract or a walk-away. Protocols (Ohm) checks documents and verifies every signed object. Settlement (Keeper) gives payment protection: Keeper holds the reservation on the shop's account until hand-over; the buyer agent pays with a one-time card, USDC over x402, or an approval on the phone. Delivery (Dash) is the hand-off at the shop or with the carrier.

Two doors for shops, same protocol behind them. Door 1, hosted sales agents: MAGENTS runs the shop's agent; performance fee per deal, zero setup, nothing to pay until the first sale. Door 2, open specification: the shop runs its own agent and connects to MAGENTS via the open protocol. A shop can switch doors; the buyer agent sees no difference.

Three ways to join. Way A: bring your own agent and implement the open MAGENTS spec. Way B: the onboarding agent takes a digital menu, a PDF or a website link and creates the shop's agent. Way C: test a buyer agent in the sandbox or build with us.

Core: one data format (offer, bid, contract, delivery receipt as signed JSON objects). Adapters: A2A, MCP, PAP, x402.
