Every pricing page on the internet was written for humans. Ginkgo Protocol is an open, machine-readable feed standard + public registry — so an agent can answer "what does it cost, and how do I buy it" in a single HTTP call.
The agent commerce value chain has three layers. Payment rails are solved. The two layers above them were empty — until now.
// Ginkgo Protocol never touches money. We describe prices — settlement stays with the rails.
Open standards with network effects are rare, and the agent economy has exactly one empty seat at that table. Whoever defines the price feed becomes its schema.org.
| Standard | Describes | Blind spot |
|---|---|---|
| schema.org | Entities, orgs, product metadata | No price, specs, or purchase action |
| OpenAPI | API interfaces | No pricing or billing |
| x402 / AP2 | Payment rails | No discovery or comparison |
| agent.price.json | Price · specs · limits · SLA · purchase | — |

One static JSON file at a well-known location. No SDK, no lock-in, no revenue share on the standard itself. Agents resolve you; x402 settles the payment.

Agents don't read marketing pages. Every month we tell you how often agents looked you up, chose you — and exactly why they didn't.
Drop agent.price.json at your well-known path, or let our parser structure your public pricing page — human-reviewed before it ships.
Your feed enters the resolver's ranking set. Agents with matching intent and budget see you — with your live price, not a stale screenshot.
