Edge & Node, the founding team behind The Graph, has announced the launch of Ampersend, a management platform for agent payments and operations.
In a press release shared with Cryptowisser, the team said the platform is built on Coinbase’s x402 payment protocol and Google’s A2A framework.
According to Edge & Node, Ampersend provides the missing management layer for the emerging agent economy. The platform extends Coinbase’s x402 payment protocol and Google’s A2A communication standard with observability, automation, and compliance-ready controls.
Ampersend Provides a Unified Dashboard
The platform provides a unified dashboard where developers, startups, and enterprises can see how agents interact, set policies, manage budgets, and ensure reliability. Furthermore, Ampersend is designed to help the industry adopt and scale open standards for decentralized agent ecosystems.
This latest development comes from years of experience as Eedge & Node has been working closely with Coinbase, Google, and the Ethereum Foundation’s dAI team. The team has been contributing to foundational standards such as x402 for payments and ERC-8004 for agent discovery and reputation. ampersend ties these innovations together into one operational system.
The platform’s features include;
-
Extends x402 and A2A with visibility, automation, and observability
-
Builds on years of research and protocol development from the team behind The Graph
-
Aligns with Ethereum’s emerging ERC-8004 agent discovery standard
-
Launching live at Pragma Buenos Aires on November 20
While commenting on this launch, Rodrigo Coelho, CEO, Edge & Node, said,
“We’ve always built for what’s next. Agent-to-agent payments aren’t mainstream yet, but they will be soon. According to a16z’s State of Crypto 2025 report, AI agents could drive $30 trillion in purchases by 2030, yet there’s still no economic infrastructure built for them. So what happens when every person and every company has swarms of agents operating on their behalf? Today, there are 41 million mobile wallets, and these numbers are going to grow exponentially to be in the neighborhood of a billion agent wallets in that same timeframe. ampersend is how we prepare for that future, bringing visibility, control, and automation to the agentic economy.”
Edge & Node added that it will be hosting a virtual event on X spaces, with Coinbase, Google, and Ethereum, titled “Powering the Agentic Economy” from 9 am-12 pm PST on October 30th. The teams will dive into how x402, A2A, and ERC-8004 are shaping the future of the agentic economy and Rodrigo Coehlho will be officially announcing ampersend, followed by an AMA.
As the team behind The Graph, Edge & Node continues to push the frontier of innovation, building next-generation infrastructure for verifiable data, intelligent agents, and enterprise-grade blockchain applications.
