The agreement layer for human and AI agents.
Shodai is the protocol for living agreements: commitments that encode who does what, track when it's done, and execute what happens next.

A trillion interactions. Finally accountable.
Everyone is still arguing about humans versus machines. Real versus fake. That debate is already too small for the economy being built. Humans, AI agents, and the teams between them all need to make commitments, fulfill them, and leave behind proof.

Digital protocols already move money, data, messages, and identity across the internet. Shodai brings a new primitive to the table: agreements that humans and agents can read, run, and verify.
Static documents stop at the signature. Shodai starts there, then keeps track of the obligations, confirmations, payments, and disputes that make commitments real.
The agentic economy doesn't need more 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
Each agreement becomes its own state machine managing the lifecycle of that commitment.
03
Execute
The agreement moves through its lifecycle as work happens. 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.
Agent-to-Agent Commitments
AI agents that can negotiate terms, commit resources, and prove delivery. Same protocol humans use. Same enforcement. No trust required.
Service Agreements & Invoicing
Retainers, SOWs, and milestone-based work with built-in accountability. Deliveries are tracked, payments move on confirmation, and every interaction is verifiable.
Ecosystem Contributor Programs
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.
