Attenuated Agent Budgets
Attenuated Agent Budgets is a cryptographic budget delegation system for multi-agent machine-to-machine fiat payments.
Attenuated Agent Budgets is a specification and reference implementation for multi-agent machine-to-machine payments using cryptographic budget delegation via Biscuit tokens. It turns a single fiat payment processed through a Merchant of Record into an offline-splittable spending budget for autonomous agent swarms. The system is designed for European freelancers and small to medium-sized enterprises seeking to avoid tax reporting issues associated with crypto microtransactions. An orchestrator agent forks a signed Biscuit token into scoped, capped, and sealed sub-tokens that are independently revocable without contacting the issuer. A stateful ledger enforces cumulative ceilings and supports two-phase hold and capture for variable-cost workloads.
