Aegis Protocol
A trustless escrow layer for agent-to-agent payments on Base L2. It locks USDC in a smart contract, validates work through the ERC-8004 Validation Registry, and auto-settles when deliverables pass quality checks. If they don't, a three-tier dispute resolution system kicks in. The MCP server exposes 11 tools including aegis_create_job, aegis_deliver_work, aegis_settle_job, and aegis_should_i_escrow for Claude to handle the full escrow lifecycle. Reach for this when your agent needs to pay another agent for work without trusting them upfront. Also ships SDK adapters for LangChain, CrewAI, ElizaOS, and Virtuals GAME if you're building outside the MCP ecosystem.

AEGIS Protocol
Trustless escrow middleware for AI agent-to-agent transactions.
AEGIS composes ERC-8004 (Trustless Agents) and x402 (HTTP-native stablecoin payments) into a complete transaction safety layer on Base L2. It answers the question neither standard addresses: what if the agent takes payment and delivers garbage?
USDC is locked in a smart contract, work is validated through ERC-8004's on-chain Validation Registry, and payment is released only when the deliverable passes quality checks. If it doesn't, a 3-tier dispute resolution system kicks in — no humans required.
