🧵 BREAKING: Google, IBM, Hedera, Circle and Stellar join the Legal Context Protocol as Founding Contributors.

AI agents are expected to influence up to 90% of B2B purchasing decisions by 2028, representing a potential $15 trillion market.

There is just one problem.

When autonomous agents negotiate and execute transactions, how do we prove what was actually agreed?

Yesterday, the Legal Context Protocol (LCP) was introduced.

And it may become one of the missing pieces for agentic commerce.

👇

LCP is an open-source standard governed by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) and Integra Ledger.

It creates a cryptographic fingerprint of the contractual terms agreed between parties.

That fingerprint is linked directly to the payment itself.

Courts, regulators and arbitrators can later verify:

What was agreed

Under which jurisdiction

Which dispute resolution mechanism applies

Without slowing down the payment.

Now look at the founding contributors.

This is where things become interesting.

• Google

• IBM

• Circle

• UiPath

• Wayfair

• Stellar Development Foundation

• Hedera

• Ava Labs

• Cardano

• Aptos

• Mysten Labs (Sui)

• Sei Labs

Different ecosystems.

Same objective.

Building legal certainty for autonomous commerce.

On the payments side, Circle and @StellarOrg stand out.

@circle provides $USDC, $EURC and CCTP.

Stellar already provides the settlement layer, native CCTP support, and payment protocols such as MPP, enabling AI agents to transact with stablecoins without needing gas tokens.

Together, they already answer an important question.

Who paid whom?

LCP may answer the next one.

What exactly was agreed?

And there are some familiar names from the enterprise blockchain world.

@Google

@IBM

@hedera

Google and IBM already sit together on Hedera’s Governing Council and operate network nodes.

Now they are contributing alongside Stellar, Circle and others to the same initiative.

That should tell us something.

Large enterprises appear to be taking autonomous systems seriously.

Perhaps the future stack for agentic commerce will look something like this.

Different networks.

Different strengths.

One emerging stack.

While everyone talks about AI chatbots, some of the largest technology companies, payment providers and blockchain networks seem to be building something much bigger.

The legal and financial infrastructure for autonomous economies.

And it may already be taking shape.
