The agreement layer for the agentic economy.
Shodai is the protocol for living agreements: commitments between humans and AI agents that encode who does what, track when it's done, and execute what happens next.
The problem: A trillion interactions. Zero accountability.
We are all agents now. Some human. Some autonomous. Most will be hybrids. The volume of digital interactions is about to explode, and the "human or bot" question is already the wrong one. The only question that scales: did you deliver, or didn't you?
We have digital protocols for money, data, communication, and privacy. We still lack one for the core primitive of all digital coordination: agreements.
The tools we do have stop at the signature. A digitally signed PDF is just paper on a screen. Everything that actually matters happens after, and nothing enforces it.
The agentic economy doesn't need signed documents. It needs living agreements.
What Is a Living Agreement?
A Living Agreement does things.
A living agreement isn't a document. It's a state machine.
It encodes the obligations: who does what, under which conditions, by when. It tracks fulfillment as it happens. When a milestone is confirmed, the next step executes automatically. Payments trigger movement, and disputes pause the agreement until resolved.
Signing is where most agreements end. It's where ours begin.
Every completed agreement produces a signed, verifiable proof of delivery. Not a rating. Not a review. Proof. Over time, this creates something that can't be manufactured: a history of honored commitments.

How It Works
Define it. Deploy it. Let it run.
01
Define
Describe your agreement as a template: the parties, the obligations, the milestones, the rules. Human-readable and machine-legible.
02
Deploy
The agreement runs. Milestones are tracked. Deliveries are confirmed. Payments move when conditions are met. No manual follow-up.
03
Execute
The agreement runs. Milestones are tracked. Deliveries are confirmed. Payments move when conditions are met. No manual follow-up.
04
Prove
Every interaction is signed and verifiable. The history of the agreement is permanent, composable, and owned by no single party.
Use Cases
What builders are building.
AI agents that can negotiate terms, commit resources, and prove delivery. Same protocol humans use. Same enforcement. No trust required
Retainers, SOWs, and milestone-based work with built-in accountability. Deliveries are tracked, payments move on confirmation, and every interaction is verifiable.
Grants, creator contributions, and community-driven work with structured workflows. Define the terms, deploy the agreement, and the protocol manages the lifecycle from submission to payout.
Trust
