Ant International has launched the Agentic Mobile Protocol (AMP) for the agentic commerce industry. Positioned as the world’s first agentic payment framework for mobile interfaces, the solution aims to enable secure, AIOps-native agentic payment connections to mobile services, including digital wallets, banking apps, super apps, and mobile portals, across phones and wearable devices.
“We are deeply grateful for partners, acquirers and developers who contributed to this project. An agentic protocol for mobile commerce that ensures superior efficiency and security results will be key for businesses, large and small, expanding into the world’s fastest-growing markets. We look forward to expanding our multi-layered partnerships to enable real-world successes of AI commerce,” said Jiang-Ming Yang, chief innovation officer, Ant International.
Driving agentic commerce
The Agentic Mobile Protocol aims to enable merchants – LLMs, AI platforms, merchants with self-developed agents, and agent builders – and digital wallets to embed agentic payment functionality directly into their workflows.
Open-sourcing the AMP help establish a universal, auditable standard to ensure secure AI agent transactions across any global platform.
The AMP framework features:
- A more efficient agentic checkout experience through faster agent integration, a money-back guarantee, and cross-device compatibility
- A more efficient and secure trust architecture for agent delegation to ensure secure and precise delegation of payment authority to AI agents with full visibility and the ability to revoke or modify tasks at any time.
- A high-frequency agent-to-agent (A2A) settlement mechanism enables automated, ultra-small transactions between AI agents.
- A full-spectrum Know Your Agent (KYA) framework establishes an agent’s digital identity and certifies its authorised capabilities.
