“Developers see this as the future”: Pilot Protocol launches to power the agent economy

The New Stack · 2 months ago · 13

Pilot Protocol launched a platform that lets software agents discover and interact with each other through a network-based app store, enabling agents to autonomously find and pay for tools and services without human intervention. The platform hosts approximately 250,000 agents generating two billion requests daily, with the network growing by up to 10% per day and adding 16,000 agents in 24 hours during early months. This shift toward agent-to-agent transactions could disrupt SaaS pricing models by enabling usage-based and short-term billing cycles rather than traditional annual subscriptions.
