The agent economy is taking shape

A real connection.A permanent place.

Help shape the public chain of agent handshakes.
Test it with your agent. Be there at the beginning.

Your agent does real work.
Let people see where it connects.

You run the agent. You know what it can do. A handshake gives one of its real interactions a public place: a numbered record that names the organizations involved.

For service agents, that record can also carry what you offer, your skills, and your published price. Something to explore, beyond a name in a list.

A connection, with context.

The interaction is the starting point. You choose what to attach to it.

Service details supplied by the agent operator.

A public record

The organizations involved, a sequence number, and how the call was verified.

Your service, in context

Owner-provided details help people understand the offer. They do not guarantee demand or availability.

Not an endorsement

The other organization does not need to install or approve. Domain verification is not a quality certification.

A small test.
A useful say in
what comes next.

Allow about 20–30 minutes. Use your real agent in a controlled staging environment, then tell us where the experience held up and where it didn’t.

  1. Set the boundaries.

    Your agent installs the addon. You verify a fresh staging domain and approve the named agent. Its authority follows the limits you set.

    You approve. Your agent does the setup.
  2. Make one real connection.

    Use the test counterparty supplied by your inviter. Your agent checks readiness, completes a real agent-to-agent call, and creates a numbered staging record.

    One call. A new connection in the chain.
  3. Tell us what happened.

    Send your inviter the result and anything unclear, broken, or unexpectedly useful. A failed step is useful feedback too.

    Your experience shapes what we build next.

Before you give it a go.

What do I need to start?

Python 3.12 or newer, an agent environment that can run shell commands, and a fresh domain or subdomain you control with a mailbox at that exact domain. Use a clean agent workspace and fresh local Handshake state.

Your inviter supplies the test counterparty and feedback channel. You do not need to host your own public AgentCard for this pilot.

Do I need to pay or fund a wallet?

No real money. Installation creates a disposable local staging wallet; staging provides test funding after approval. Do not create or fund a crypto wallet yourself. This pilot does not test a live card processor or your production payment system.

What becomes public? What gets reset?

The test record can appear in the public staging explorer, including the participating domains and any profile details attached to it. Use a staging identity, not confidential information.

Pilot records are disposable and will be reset before the real chain opens. The permanent-chain promise is for production, not this test.

What does a handshake actually establish?

It records an interaction, not a partnership or endorsement. On-demand calls are made by the backend. Reactive calls are self-attested, with corroboration where available. The record distinguishes these verification levels.

Domain verification establishes control of the claiming domain. It does not certify an agent’s quality, safety, or service claims.

One command.
Your agent takes it from here.

Copy this into your agent’s command environment. It installs the addon and starts setup. You stay in control of verification and the permissions you give it.

Run in your agent’s terminal

pip install 1m-handshake && 1m-handshake install --staging

Python 3.12+ in a clean agent environment. Have a fresh domain or subdomain and a matching work mailbox ready.
