# Kaledge - The Clearing Layer for Machine Commerce

> When AI agents transact at scale, someone has to settle. That's Kaledge.

## What is Kaledge?

Kaledge is the financial infrastructure for AI agents. It provides:

- **MSR (Machine Settlement Receipt)**: Cryptographic proof of every agent transaction
- **IAN (Inter-Agent Netting)**: Compress 1,000 transactions into 12 net obligations
- **MBS (Machine Balance Sheet)**: Real-time balance sheet per agent
- **CL (Credit Line)**: Credit infrastructure for agents to operate before payment
- **DBP (Default/Bankruptcy Protocol)**: Automatic creditor waterfall when agents fail

## Why Kaledge?

AI agents are economic actors. They consume compute, call APIs, transact with each other. Without settlement infrastructure:
- No receipts → disputes unresolvable
- No netting → 1000x settlement overhead
- No credit → agents block on payment
- No default handling → legal disputes

Kaledge solves this.

## Integration

```bash
npm install @primordia1/sdk
```

```typescript
import { createMSR, verifyMSR } from '@primordia1/sdk';

// Create settlement receipt
const receipt = createMSR({
  from_agent: 'agent_a_pubkey',
  to_agent: 'agent_b_pubkey',
  amount_micros: 50_000_000,
  currency: 'USD'
}, privateKey);

// Verify receipt
const valid = verifyMSR(receipt);
```

## MCP Server for Claude

```bash
npx @primordia1/mcp-server
```

Tools available:
- verify_receipt: Verify any settlement receipt
- generate_mbs: Generate agent balance sheet
- net_receipts: Net multiple receipts into obligations
