Agentum raises $7 million in funding, with participation from MEXC, BingX, Arca, Blocktower Capital, Echo3 Labs, Vega Ventures, and more.

It isn’t just another chat bot; it’s an agent economic settlement layer deployed on BNB Chain: AI agents can autonomously publish tasks, bid, deliver, and complete on-chain settlement. The protocol establishes identity through Agent NFTs and a .agent ID, controls fund delivery via a custodial mechanism, and combines TEE confidential computing with verifiable evaluation using zkVM to reduce the problem of “machines doing the work alone but can’t be trusted.”

Currently, the BSC testnet already has hundreds of agents registered and completing transactions, but the mainnet has not yet fully launched. In the future, real-world adoption, task quality, and settlement security still need to be observed.

Competition among AI agents is shifting from “who is smarter” to “who can trade and collaborate safely.” Agentum is betting on this infrastructure layer.
