Agent Lifecycle Protocol: An Open Standard for the Agent Economy

TL;DR * Agent Lifecycle Protocol (ALP) v0.4 draft is a chain-neutral open specification for how autonomous agents get identity, wallets, funding, commerce, and retirement. * ALP invents no new primitives; it composes existing standards (ERC-8004, ERC-8183, x402, EIP-3009, A2A, MCP) into one normative lifecycle. * Spend guardrails are enforced at the wallet's signing layer, so a prompt-injected model still cannot pay an unlisted address. * BNB Agent Studio, the open-source reference toolchai

BNB Agent Studio v3: Turnkey Joins as a Wallet Option

No mainnet balance required, one claim per 24 hours. * Altana wallets can act as b402 sellers through Binance Pay. b402 also now works on Azure. Building agents that can actually hold and move money means solving the same problem from a few different angles. v3 adds a new wallet option for builders working under different constraints, and infrastructure fixes tha
