Use Cases
Delegation & Commerce in Action
Four scenarios showing how companies use Amber Protocol to authorize AI agents, execute commerce contracts, and maintain compliance audit trails.
Agent Delegation Authorization
A logistics company authorizes its AI procurement agent to purchase supplies up to $5,000/month. The Delegation Contract specifies spending caps, approved vendor categories, and liability terms — giving the agent verifiable, on-chain proof of authorization.
Parties
Contract Terms
Spending cap ($5,000/mo), approved categories (office supplies, shipping materials), excluded vendors list, liability terms
Outcome
Delegation Contract signed, cNFT minted to company + agent wallets, agent can prove authorization to any vendor
Integrations
Payments: x402 V2 payments on Base within authorized limits
Reputation: ERC-8004 identity registry verifies the agent's principal company
Contract: Ricardian Delegation Contract with Principal Declaration naming Acme Logistics as the authorizing entity
Agent-Executed Procurement
A company's authorized agent negotiates and purchases cloud compute from a vendor. Amber generates a dual-format Commerce Contract — human-readable for the vendor's legal team, machine-parsable JSON for the agent — with payment flowing via x402 V2.
Parties
Contract Terms
GPU allocation (A100 x4), 99.9% uptime SLA, $2,400/mo pricing, 90-day term, auto-renewal clause
Outcome
Commerce Contract signed by agent on behalf of TechCorp, cNFT minted, vendor legal team can review via Reader Portal
Integrations

Contract: Dual-format Ricardian Contract — legal text for vendor counsel, structured JSON for agent enforcement
Agent-Signed Service Agreement
A marketing agency's AI agent negotiates and signs a SaaS analytics contract on behalf of the agency. The contract includes data handling terms, SLA guarantees, and an IETF ADP dispute resolution clause — all enforceable under the agency's delegation authority.
Parties
Contract Terms
Enterprise tier access, data retention (12 months), GDPR compliance clause, 99.5% uptime SLA, $499/mo
Outcome
Service agreement signed at machine speed, cNFT as proof of agreement, amendment chain for future upgrades

An enterprise legal team needs to review all contracts their AI agents have executed over the past quarter. Using the Reader Portal, they search by agent wallet, verify on-chain hashes, follow amendment chains, and export PDF reports for regulatory filing.
Parties
Contract Terms
All delegation and commerce contracts executed in Q1 2026, including amendments and extensions
Outcome
Full audit trail via Reader Portal — view, verify, print any contract by hash or cNFT ID, follow amendment chains
