Why this is canonical

'Value protocol' names the layer that must exist beneath any AI-driven economy — the agreed-upon rules, formats, and communication standards for how agents, systems, and humans define and exchange value. This is structurally required infrastructure for the agentic economy, and a naturally legible framing for protocol-layer builders.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

Agent-to-agent economic protocols
A protocol layer defining how autonomous agents negotiate, agree on, and transfer value — the economic grammar for multi-agent systems.
Multi-agent platform builders, autonomous AI economy developers, AI protocol researchers
Open value exchange standards
An open protocol for describing and transmitting value propositions, pricing, and economic terms across AI system boundaries.
AI API platform builders, B2B protocol developers, standards-body participants

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