Why this is canonical

'Exchange' in financial and commercial contexts names the organized venue where trades happen — not just the act of trading, but the rules, matching, and settlement infrastructure. 'AgentTradeExchange' names the exchange infrastructure layer for agent commerce: the clearing house, order book, or matching engine for agent transactions.

Where it fits

Agent capability marketplace

Financial exchange for agent assets
An exchange infrastructure for assets that agents hold and trade — compute credits, data rights, or tokenized real-world assets.
Web3 and DeFi infrastructure builders, tokenized asset market operators

Illustrative, not exhaustive — held as a transferable canonical position, open to the buyer's own use.
