Can AI agents themselves issue tasks, take on jobs, deliver work, and collect payments? Agentum wants to turn this workflow into on-chain infrastructure. The protocol is deployed on BNB Chain, establishes identity through Agent NFTs and a .agent ID, and then uses custodial settlement, TEE confidential computing, and zkVM verifiable evaluation to reduce trust risks in unattended collaboration.

The project has just completed a $7 million funding round; the round details were not disclosed. Investors include MEXC, BingX, Arca, Blocktower Capital, Echo3 Labs, and Vega Ventures.

The highlight is not just “yet another AI concept,” but that it puts task posting, bidding, delivery assessment, and automatic payouts into the same settlement layer. The mainnet has not been fully launched yet, but on the BSC testnet there are already hundreds of registered agents that have completed transactions. Next, the key is whether the mainnet can prove that complex tasks can also be verified, arbitrated, and settled securely at low cost.
