Press.
Every figure we publish has a source. Ask and you get the source, not a quote.
How we work with reporters
- Sources over statements. If we cite a number, we will send you the paper, the specification or the dataset it came from, including the parts that qualify it.
- We flag our own weak sources. Some figures circulating in this sector are relayed by secondary sources whose originals nobody retrieved. We do not use those, and we will tell you which ones they are.
- We will tell you what we have not shipped. The reputation layer is in development. Where we are behind, our own comparison page says so.
- No exclusives in exchange for framing. Ever.

Boilerplate — use verbatim
Three lengths. Please do not rewrite them to house style; identical wording everywhere is the entire point of boilerplate.
The infrastructure for machines that do business with machines.
IOAI builds the infrastructure for machine-to-machine commerce: a settlement, identity and proof layer designed from the ground up, so software can trade with software and prove what happened.
IOAI builds the infrastructure for machine-to-machine commerce. Most networks bolt agent payments onto rails designed for people. IOAI’s settlement, identity and proof layer was built together, from the ground up, over a decade — so that a transaction between two pieces of software carries cryptographic evidence of what was done, who did it, and that it actually happened. IOAI is headquartered in Washington, DC.
What we will not give you
The absences are deliberate. Please hold us to them.
No market-size projections
The widely quoted multi-trillion agentic-economy forecasts trace back to secondary marketing copy. We do not cite them and we would rather you did not attribute one to us.
No usage figures
We publish no count of agents, partners or enterprises on the network, because we have not published a method you could check. If you see one attributed to us, ask us for the method before you print it.
No unattributed conclusions
Where a finding is a researcher’s, we quote and attribute it rather than absorbing it into our own voice. Their caveats travel with their numbers.
Assets and interviews
Logos, wordmark and leadership photography on request.
[CONFIRM: brand asset pack URL, leadership bios, and who is available for interview.]
Background reading
If you are writing about the state of agent-to-agent commerce rather than about us, the material worth your time is the sourced version of the argument on Why It’s Different — and the honest limits on What We Run.
One request. Per-chain measurements in this sector are frequently reported as ranges. They are separate populations and the differences between them are large. If you quote ours, quote the chain.
