It answers: How can an AI agent shop and pay through a person's mobile wallet, within limits the person signed in advance, and have each step checked against that permission? Adoption is claimed by Ant International (launch press 2026-04-28: 40+ wallet partners, 1.8 billion accounts, 150 million merchants; global rollout reported 2026-09-11 with 50+ mobile payment partners), last verified 2026-10-20. [Pay](/category/pay/) AMP is Ant International's open protocol for AI agents that shop and pay through mobile wallets on the Alipay+ network [[1]](#ref-1)[[3]](#ref-3). The person signs a Mandate in advance, either IMMEDIATE (one purchase) or AUTONOMOUS (the agent may act later within limits) [[2]](#ref-2). An Intent Guard then checks each later step against that mandate [[1]](#ref-1). ## Overview The spec text names four checkpoints: mandate creation pre-verification, payment token, payment request and wallet debit (S1 to S4). It also defines three layers of assurance data (user identity, mandate authorization and payment token request), carried as a three-layer SD-JWT [[2]](#ref-2). The repository has five spec documents with MUST/SHOULD requirements, under Apache-2.0 [[1]](#ref-1). Ant International launched AMP on 2026-04-28, calling it fully open-sourced and citing 40+ wallet partners, 1.8 billion accounts and 150 million merchants [[3]](#ref-3). The public repository, however, was only created on 2026-08-17 and has no tags or releases [[1]](#ref-1). A global rollout with 50+ mobile payment partners was reported on 2026-09-11 [[4]](#ref-4). All adoption figures are Ant's own. AMP defines nothing at a merchant's origin, so there is no path to probe. It overlaps in purpose with AP2's mandates and the card networks' agent-payment schemes, but runs on wallet rails rather than cards. ## Discovery and probe none at an origin; mandates, payment tokens and assurance data pass between the agent, the wallet and the Alipay+ network ``` GET none — mandates and payment tokens are exchanged inside an authorised wallet flow parse: No public artefact at a fixed path to parse. on absent: Not probeable from an origin; check the merchant's or wallet's own announcement instead. ``` Not probed live: needs-credentials. AMP mandates and payment tokens are exchanged inside an authorised wallet flow; nothing is published at a fixed path. ## History - 2026-10-20 — added from gap scout 2026-10-20; verified against github.com/ant-intl/AMP (repo metadata, Overview.md, Intent Trust Domain.md) and Ant International's 2026-04-28 launch release; rollout via The Paypers ## Instances No instances recorded yet. ## See also - Not to be confused with: AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages, Google's unrelated web page format) ## References - The ant-intl/AMP repository is Apache-2.0 licensed, created 2026-08-17 and last pushed 2026-09-23, with no tags or releases; its docs/ folder holds Overview, Intent Trust Domain, Payment Service Domain, Wallet Service Domain and Business Scenarios Processes documents written with MUST/SHOULD requirements. — [https://github.com/ant-intl/AMP](https://github.com/ant-intl/AMP) (2026-09-23) VERIFIED - The Intent Trust Domain document defines IMMEDIATE and AUTONOMOUS mandate types, four verification checkpoints (S1 Mandate Creation Pre-Verification, S2 Payment Token, S3 Payment Request, S4 Wallet Debit) and three layers of assurance data (L1 User Identity, L2 Mandate Authorization, L3 Payment Token Request) carried as a three-layer SD-JWT (RFC 9901, ES256). — [https://github.com/ant-intl/AMP/blob/main/docs/Intent%20Trust%20Domain.md](https://github.com/ant-intl/AMP/blob/main/docs/Intent%20Trust%20Domain.md) (2026-09-23) VERIFIED - Ant International's launch release (Kuala Lumpur, 2026-04-28) calls AMP fully open-sourced, cites 40+ wallet partners, 1.8 billion accounts and 150 million merchants, and says it supports nano-transactions as small as $0.000001. — [https://www.ant-intl.com/en/news/detail/?id=ant-international-launches-open-sourced-agentic-mobile-protocol-to-drive-ai-commerce](https://www.ant-intl.com/en/news/detail/?id=ant-international-launches-open-sourced-agentic-mobile-protocol-to-drive-ai-commerce) (2026-04-28) VERIFIED - The Paypers reports AMP's global rollout on 2026-09-11 with 50+ mobile payment partners and first-phase wallets including Alipay, GCash, DANA, KakaoPay and Toss. — [https://thepaypers.com/payments/news/ant-internationals-agentic-mobile-protocol-rolls-out-globally](https://thepaypers.com/payments/news/ant-internationals-agentic-mobile-protocol-rolls-out-globally) (2026-09-11) REPORTED [JSON](/data/protocols/amp-ant.json) · [Markdown](/protocols/amp-ant/index.md)
