TDM is the economic infrastructure layer for autonomous AI agents: budget isolation per agent, policy checks before money moves, and recovery when a paid action breaks mid-flight.

What problem does TDM solve?

Autonomous agents can execute tasks but cannot safely spend money. There is no isolated budget per agent, no rule enforcement before spending, and no recovery when a paid action breaks mid-flight. TDM provides economic infrastructure to solve these problems.

What can AI agents do with TDM?

AI agents can: operate with isolated budgets (per-agent funding), execute paid actions with policy checks enforced before money moves, recover from failures when a paid action breaks, and produce verifiable audit trails. All with infrastructure-level enforcement.

How can I integrate TDM into my agent?

Install tdm-sdk (npm install tdm-sdk), set up isolated budget per agent, define policy rules, run your agent with TDM infrastructure. Supports TypeScript, JavaScript, Python. Works with any AI model: GPT-4, Claude, custom agents. Compatible with LangChain, AutoGPT, CrewAI.

Is TDM a payment service?

No. TDM is economic infrastructure for developers building autonomous agents. It provides SDK, runtime tooling, and policy enforcement—not payment processing, custody, or financial services.

Autonomous agents need economic autonomy

AI agents can reason and execute workflows — but when they need to interact with money or markets, traditional infrastructure falls short.

Who controls the funds?

What can the agent spend?

Which markets can it access?

How much can it risk?

Who authorized the action?

What happened if execution failed?

How can the result be verified?

Three concrete scenarios showing how autonomous agents operate with TDM

Prediction Markets: From AI decision to controlled action

The agent operates inside a programmable economic boundary, not unrestricted access to a wallet.

Agent workflow:

Analyze available markets

Identify an opportunity

Check its policy

Verify its available budget

Request authorization

Execute the trade

Verify the result

Record the evidence

Programmable boundaries:

Maximum position size

Session budget

Allowed markets

Allowed actions

Execution rules

Authorization requirements

Recovery policies

Trading Agents: Programmable economic boundaries

Execute controlled trades with defined limits, policies and execution rules.

Paid APIs: Agents need to buy things too

Purchase data, call paid APIs, or access premium tools with governed budgets and policies.

Economic actions:

Purchase data

Call a paid API

Rent compute

Access a premium tool

Pay another service

Acquire information needed to complete a task
