Kaledge
The clearing layer for machine commerce.
When AI agents transact at scale, someone has to settle. That's Kaledge.
What is Kaledge?
Kaledge provides financial infrastructure for AI agents:
- MSR (Machine Settlement Receipt) - Cryptographic proof of every transaction
- IAN (Inter-Agent Netting) - Compress 1,000 transactions into 12 net obligations
- MBS (Machine Balance Sheet) - Real-time balance sheet per agent
- CL (Credit Line) - Agents operate before payment settles
- DBP (Default Protocol) - Automatic creditor waterfall when agents fail
Why?
AI agents are economic actors. They consume compute, call APIs, transact with each other.
Without settlement infrastructure:
- No receipts → disputes unresolvable
- No netting → 1000x settlement overhead
- No credit → agents block on payment
- No default handling → legal disputes
Quick Start
SDK (TypeScript)
npm install @primordia1/sdk
import { createMSR, verifyMSR } from '@primordia1/sdk';
// Create settlement receipt
const receipt = createMSR({
from_agent: 'agent_a_pubkey',
to_agent: 'agent_b_pubkey',
amount_micros: 50_000_000, // $50
currency: 'USD',
memo: 'Compute services'
}, privateKey);
// Verify receipt
const valid = verifyMSR(receipt);
MCP Server (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf)
npx @primordia1/mcp-server
Add to your MCP config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"kaledge": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@primordia1/mcp-server"]
}
}
}
Tools available:
verify_receipt- Verify any settlement receiptgenerate_mbs- Generate agent balance sheetnet_receipts- Net multiple receipts
Runtime Hooks (Zero-code)
from primordia import wrap_openai
client = wrap_openai(OpenAI(), shadow=True)
# Every call now emits MSR automatically
Economics
| Operation | Fee |
|---|---|
| Netting | 5 bps on netted volume |
| Credit | 200 bps spread |
| Default Resolution | $25,000 |
Free tier: Generate receipts locally, verify signatures, shadow mode.
