# Podium

> Commerce infrastructure for trusted agents and intelligent applications

Podium gives developers and agents the building blocks to create personal, proactive shopping agents and applications; ones that capture what users genuinely want, execute purchases autonomously, and settle rewards transparently. Intent profiles, enrichment pipelines, escrow, settlement, and a full commerce API: everything an agent needs to create deep trust, act on a user's behalf and prove what it did.

## Three Layers, One Platform

Podium combines three layers that work together:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Intelligence Layer">
    The enrichment pipeline ingests market data from structured APIs, web scraping, and community sources. It extracts product attributes via LLM and rule-based extraction, resolves entities against your catalog, and computes scored baselines. Agents consuming the product feed receive every signal with explicit provenance — they always know whether data came from user declarations or market analysis.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Commerce Layer">
    A full-stack commerce API: product catalog with configurable attributes, multi-payment checkout (Stripe, x402 USDC, embedded wallets), creator storefronts with Stripe Connect payouts, order lifecycle management, and shipping integration via Shippo. Everything is multi-tenant with PostgreSQL Row-Level Security.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Settlement Layer">
    On-chain smart contracts on Base handle the trust-critical operations. The Task Pool V2 system provides per-tenant USDC escrow, task lifecycle management, solver reputation tracking, and a pluggable verification engine (oracle, AI evaluation, or consensus). Rewards are settled on-chain with a transparent fee structure.
  </Step>
</Steps>
