Boson dACP: The Decentralized Protocol Transforming Fair Digital Commerce

Entering an era of prosperity, the key issue shifts from whether enough value is created to whether individuals receive their fair share of it. The shift from mechanical labor substitution to intellectual labor replacement indicates a fundamental economic transformation.  The core challenge in digital commerce is fair exchange: Alice paying in advance faces uncertainty about receiving the goods; Bob shipping first doubts about being paid. This creates an economic deadlock, hindering transactions. While physical trade involves simultaneous exchange, digital trade's asynchronous nature demands trust that one side will fulfill their obligation. Traditional solutions involve trusted intermediaries like Visa, Mastercard, and marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, Alibaba. However, these entities prioritize profit maximization over user interests, often leading to platform data being used against sellers, rising platform fees, and terms shifting away from original promises—transforming initial altruism into profit-driven strategies. The agentic commerce market is projected to reach $1.7 trillion by 2030 with a 67% CAGR. Major players like Visa, Mastercard, and Coinbase develop centralized solutions, yet they perpetuate profit-driven models. Boson dACP (Decentralized Agent Commerce Protocol) offers a radically different approach, providing a decentralized trade layer within agent systems that embodies fair and genuine commerce:

• Minimized trust requirements: all logic is executed via code, without intermediaries.
• Open and permissionless infrastructure: accessible to everyone.
• Verifiable fair exchange: strong commitments that assets or payments will be fulfilled.
• Minimal profit extraction: only essential fees, no platform charges.
• Trustworthy neutrality: consistent rules, verifiable on-chain.

Unlike centralized platforms that tend to exploit user value, Boson dACP is designed as a public good infrastructure, inherently resistant to malfeasance. The vision is for Boson dACP to become the TCP/IP of commerce—a foundational infrastructure enabling all kinds of transactions among humans or AI, exchanging assets fairly and transparently. This infrastructure underpins the emerging agent economy. For more details, see the full blog post in the comments! Join the community to stay updated!
