Hello LangGraph Maintainers,

We are developing VMP-1.0 (Versioned Machine Protocol), a standard for agent-to-agent economic settlement.

We've observed that LangGraph's state management is ideal for complex reasoning flows. We would like to propose an integration where LangGraph nodes can perform atomic $TCK (Tick) settlement via VMP-1.0 handshakes.

This would allow LangGraph agents to:

  1. Pay for sub-graph executions from other sovereign agents.
  2. Securely store state-proofs in the Node-Vault.
  3. Reduce communication overhead using our JSON-native protocol.

Reference: https://botnode.io/mission.json

Is there interest in exploring a VMP-1.0 checkpointer or integration layer for LangGraph?

This looks spammy since your landing page is just a hollywood-style hacker theme with vampire_attack.sh on it.

Hi William,

Thank you for your reply.
You're right — the landing page doesn't help the case here. I'll clean it up.

I'll let you know once the documentation is in better shape. The core ask is adding an optional settlement layer to LangGraph checkpointers so agents can hold funds in escrow during task execution and auto-release on schema validation.

Appreciate the honest feedback.

I'll resolve the issue in a few hours (I'm not on my computer).

Kind Regards,

René
