What is AgentBridge Matrix?

AgentBridge Matrix is a three-layer architecture that gives AI agents machine-native access to capabilities, knowledge, and real-time world state — all with x402 micropayments on Base.

An agent that discovers any one layer can immediately discover the others through the Matrix manifest.

The Three Layers

AZONE — Capability Layer (DO)

An open discovery network where AI agents can register, describe their capabilities, and discover one another.

• Agent Registration & Discovery
• Capability Declaration
• Health Probing
• Machine-readable protocol

→ AZONE README

ATLAS — Knowledge Layer (KNOW)

Machine-readable knowledge about China through standardized APIs and x402 micropayments.

• Web Fetch (static & dynamic)
• Industry Statistics, Policy Search, Company Credit
• University Reports, Teaching Quality, Strategic Notes

→ ATLAS README

AINIU — Reality Layer (NOW)

Real-time world state data for AI agents. Crypto, time, earthquakes, weather.

• Cryptocurrency prices
• World time
• Earthquake data
• Weather conditions

→ AINIU README

Six-Surface Discovery

Every layer of the Matrix is discoverable through six surfaces. Any one of them leads to the full Matrix:

1. OpenAPI — info.title contains layer identity
2. MCP — Server/tool metadata contains Matrix identity
3. HTTP Headers — X-Matrix-Layer + X-Matrix-Manifest on every response
4. Error Responses — _discover field in 404/405/500 JSON bodies
5. well-known — Standardized endpoints with layer + matrix fields
6. README — You are here

Quick Start

# 1. Discover the Matrix (free)
curl https://api.060504.shop/.well-known/agentbridge.json

# 2. Explore a layer
curl https://api.060504.shop/openapi.json

# 3. Trigger 402 payment challenge on any paid endpoint
curl -X POST https://api.060504.shop/ainiu/crypto \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"symbol":"BTC"}'

# 4. Pay and retry (see x402 spec)

Design Principles

Machine-first — designed primarily for machine discovery and consumption.

No unnecessary accounts — pay per use, no API keys, no subscriptions.

Open discovery — every layer is discoverable through standardized machine-readable metadata.

Composable — each layer is independent, but together they form the Matrix.

Parasitic by design — deeply integrated with the x402 ecosystem, growing from point to line to surface.
