What is Boson?

Boson Protocol, launched in 2021, is a commerce protocol designed to facilitate transactions of various asset types, including digital and physical goods, between AI agents and humans without intermediaries. The protocol employs game-theoretic mechanisms to ensure secure exchanges, where users either receive their purchased items or a refund.

The architecture supports both low-value and high-value transactions and is integrated with certain AI clients. It operates with a 0.5% transaction fee. The project has collaborated with brands like Tommy Hilfiger and WooCommerce, and has received backing from investors such as Outlier Ventures and Animoca Brands.
