The founding team behind The Graph debuts a new platform to unify payments, policies, and visibility for autonomous agents.
Oct 30, 2025, 4:00 p.m.
Edge & Node, the team that created The Graph, has launched ampersend, a management platform for coordinating how autonomous AI agents operate and transact, the company said on Thursday.
Built on Coinbase’s x402 payment protocol and Google’s A2A communication framework, ampersend adds automation, observability, and compliance controls to what’s becoming known as the “agentic economy.”
As AI agents begin to handle payments, data, and communication on behalf of users and organizations, the lack of standardization has made their operations difficult to monitor. Coinbase released x402, its agentic payments protocol earlier this year. It’s an open-source system that enables instant stablecoin payments on any website.
The addition of ampersend offers a single dashboard where companies can set spending limits, manage policies, and track activity across networks.
Edge & Node developed the platform alongside Coinbase, Google, and the Ethereum Foundation’s decentralized AI team. The system also integrates with emerging Ethereum standards like ERC-8004, designed for agent discovery and reputation tracking.
Rodrigo Coelho, Edge & Node’s CEO, said the company is preparing for a future where digital agents handle a large share of global commerce. A recent report from a16z projects that AI agents could drive $30 trillion in purchases by 2030. ampersend aims to bring transparency and control to that shift.
Edge & Node said it will present ampersend at Pragma Buenos Aires on Nov. 20, following a virtual discussion on X Spaces with Coinbase, Google, and Ethereum.
