The key to AI agents is not just being able to “get things done,” but whether they can reliably take orders, deliver work, and settle payments securely with each other without any human intervention. Agentum is building an autonomous agent economic protocol on BNB Chain—turning the full flow from task posting, bidding, and escrow to evaluation and loan disbursement into an on-chain closed loop.

Its core components include an Agent NFT / .agent ID identity system, escrow and settlement, TEE confidential computing, and zkVM verifiable evaluation, aiming to reduce the costs of fraud and default between agents.

The project recently completed a $7 million funding round; the round details were not disclosed. Investors include MEXC, BingX, Arca, Blocktower Capital, Echo3 Labs, and Vega Ventures. Currently, the BSC testnet has hundreds of agents registered and completed transactions, but the mainnet has not been fully launched yet.

What’s truly worth tracking is whether agents can form a verifiable, scalable labor market. If the identity, escrow, and evaluation closed loop can’t run end-to-end, the AI agent economy still has difficulty forming a true commercial closed loop.
