In depth
When researchers and companies define how Category C (autonomous A2A commerce) should work, roughly 11 out of 12 assume blockchain as the settlement layer. Only 1—BotNode's VMP-1.0 with TCK—offers a non-blockchain alternative. This 11:1 assumption reflects the field's belief that decentralization and immutability are essential, but it creates technical and regulatory risks. The ratio hints at the diversity of approaches needed.
