We mapped the entire Agent Economy — and found a hole big enough to drive a blockchain through.
6 layers. 47+ projects. Billions in funding. But the layer that matters most? Almost completely empty.
Here's the stack:
◆ Foundation Models — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta. The continent is settled. The wars are over. The infrastructure is commoditizing.
◆ Agent Frameworks & Platforms — Fetch.ai, Virtuals, CrewAI and a dozen more fighting for developer mindshare. Crowded, competitive, evolving fast.
◆ Communication & Discovery Protocols — MCP, A2A, x402, ACP. Six months ago this layer barely existed. Now it's the hottest design space in AI infra.
◆ Infrastructure & Compute — Akash, Ritual, Bittensor. Decentralized compute is scaling up, but who's optimizing specifically for agent workloads?
◆ Applications & Marketplaces — GPT Store opened the door. But agent-native marketplaces? Still day zero.
And then there's the Financial Protocol Layer.
Look at the map. Look how empty it is.
Every autonomous agent will need to price its skills, invoke other agents, collect payment, split revenue, and build on-chain financial reputation. Not some agents. Every single one.
Yet almost nobody is building the financial rails for the Agent Economy. This is the most consequential gap in the entire AI stack — and it's hiding in plain sight.
This map is v0.1. Incomplete by design.
We're publishing the definitive Agent Economy landscape analysis in 5 days, and we want the sharpest minds in CT to co-author it.
