The agent economy is starting to look a lot like the early internet. A growing list of protocols can seem confusing, especially with similar names: MCP, A2A, ACP, UCP, x402, MPP, AP2, AG-UI, ERC-8004... They're becoming layers of a new stack. Just as the internet needed protocols for communication, payments, discovery, identity, and trust, agents need the same things. • MCP for tools and data access • A2A for agent-to-agent communication • x402 and MPP for payments • Bazaar, MCP Registry, and others for discovery • AP2, Verifiable Intent, and TAP for authorization and trust Major players are independently building different pieces of the same puzzle: Coinbase, Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe, Visa, and Mastercard. The industry is converging on a shared vision. A guide covering the major protocols, how they fit together, and where the ecosystem may be heading: 👇 https://cp0x.com/blog/guide-to-agentic-economy-protocols-how-agents-communicate-pay-and-discover-each-other
