Why this is canonical

'Marketplace layer' names the structural plane between marketplace applications and the data, matching, and trust primitives beneath them. On .ai, it is best-positioned to anchor the layer-level framing for AI-native marketplace infrastructure — where agents become buyers, sellers, and intermediaries.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

AI agent marketplace infrastructure
The layer enabling agents to discover, transact, and settle with each other and human principals in AI-native marketplaces.
Agent marketplace, AI services exchange, and agentic commerce builders
Two-sided platform intelligence
The intelligence and governance layer for two-sided marketplace matching, trust, and attribution in an AI-assisted commerce environment.
Marketplace platform, fintech, and commerce AI builders

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