The AI Bridge Layer for On-Chain Chat Commerce
This raise did not reach its goal. All committed USDC is being returned to contributors. to claim your refund.
The internet is becoming agentic. Commerce hasn't caught up. We built the infrastructure that connects them.
ShopsBuilder is raising to accelerate the global infrastructure layer that bridges Web2 merchants into the age of AI-native, on-chain commerce — operating inside the messaging platforms where 3+ billion people already live.
We did not start from zero.
This raise allows us to scale globally, enable AI agents to turn business intent into autonomous commerce operations, and connect demand from users and agents to existing businesses across platforms like Shopify, Amazon, and others.
Commerce is shifting to chat and AI agents, but the infrastructure was built for humans using browsers.
Demand discovery is moving to AI interfaces while merchants still depend on centralized marketplaces that control ranking, margins, and customer access.
Commerce infrastructure remains fragmented across Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce, marketplaces, and payment providers — each requiring integrations, operational effort, and technical expertise.
Crypto payments exist, but the full commerce lifecycle is still missing, which real merchants requires — authorization, escrow, capture, refunds, cancellations, and disputes.
This is ShopsBuilder's core insight:
The future of commerce is not storefronts. It is agents transacting with agents.
A customer talks to their AI assistant. The assistant understands intent. It discovers the right merchant. Shows to customer and It initiates a purchase. The payment settles on-chain. The merchant fulfills the order.
The merchant never knows the sale came through an agentic channel. To them, it is just another order. But underneath, a new layer of commerce infrastructure made it possible — invisible, automated, and unstoppable.
ShopsBuilder is the bridge layer that connects existing Web2 businesses into this new reality — without requiring merchants to understand crypto, AI, or protocols. They get a fully autonomous operation. The infrastructure handles everything else.
AI doesn't just discover demand — it can operate businesses.
Merchants no longer need to manually configure every system, integration, or market expansion.
A founder can say: "Launch our products in market X." "Start running ads." "Accept donations in crypto payments."
AI agents interpret this business intent and execute it across the ShopsBuilder infrastructure — configuring payments, storefronts, integrations, compliance, and distribution automatically.
Business intent becomes executable commerce infrastructure.
The system combines three primitives:
Merchant AI agents Every store receives an autonomous agent that handles discovery, orders, customer support, and follow-ups.
Universal commerce bridge Existing Web2 merchants (Shopify, marketplaces, independent stores) can expose their products to AI agents without changing their operations.
On-chain payment lifecycle A complete crypto payment stack supporting authorization, escrow, capture, refunds, cancellations, and dispute resolution.
Existing solutions are fragmented:
• AI tools generate content but are not designed to operate businesses • Crypto payment processors support payments but lack the full commerce lifecycle • Marketplaces remain centralized and extractive, controlling discovery and margins.
ShopsBuilder combines these layers into one open infrastructure.

Raise target: $336,000
Runway: ~12 months Monthly burn: ~$28k
ShopsBuilder is modular by design.
The core components — payment infrastructure, merchant agents, and the DAO marketplace — can evolve independently.
If one layer fails to gain adoption, development can focus on the components that demonstrate the strongest product-market fit.
If a particular product direction fails to achieve adoption, treasury governance allows the community to redirect development toward the most promising parts of the infrastructure - AI agents, payment protocols, or the DAO marketplace layer.
If ShopsBuilder reaches 100,000 active merchants with ~$250 annual infrastructure revenue per merchant,
annual revenue would reach ~$25M.
This represents a realistic outcome for a global agentic commerce infrastructure layer.
ShopsBuilder is building the world's AI-native, on-chain commerce infrastructure — the invisible bridge layer that connects the 200M+ Web2 businesses into an agentic economy where AI handles discovery, conversation, and payment automatically.
Commerce is going agentic. ShopsBuilder is the infrastructure that makes it work.
All assets will be owned by the DAO entity, managed by the team:
The team can spend up to this amount per month from the treasury without a governance proposal. Larger expenditures must be approved by token holders.
Team tokens are locked for an 18-month cliff. After the cliff, the team can trigger a 3-month TWAP evaluation. Tokens unlock in 20% tranches at each price milestone relative to the ICO price of $0.042.
| Tranche | Price Target | Unlocked |
|---|---|---|
| 2× ICO price | $0.084 | 20% |
| 4× ICO price | $0.168 | 40% |
| 8× ICO price | $0.336 | 60% |
| 16× ICO price | $0.672 | 80% |
| 32× ICO price | $1.344 | 100% |
Each tranche unlocks 20% of team tokens. The price target is measured via a 3-month time-weighted average price (TWAP) to prevent short-term manipulation.

ShopsBuilder is infrastructure for AI-native, on-chain commerce inside messaging platforms.
The platform enables any business to operate a fully autonomous store in chat — powered by AI agents that handle product discovery, order management, customer support, and after-sales flows without human involvement. Payments are processed through a complete on-chain lifecycle: capture, hold, refund, cancel, and settlement across TON, EVM-compatible chains, Telegram Stars, and traditional payment rails.
Mission: To become the global infrastructure layer that bridges existing Web2 businesses into the emerging agentic economy — where AI systems discover, negotiate, and transact on behalf of buyers, and merchants fulfill orders without needing to understand the underlying crypto or AI infrastructure.
Problem it solves: • AI agents can identify purchase intent but have no payment primitive to complete transactions autonomously • Web2 merchants have no practical path into on-chain commerce without full system rebuilds • Crypto payment infrastructure lacks the complete lifecycle primitives (hold, refund, dispute) required for real commerce • Merchant discovery across messaging platforms is fragmented, centralized
ShopsBuilder is live in production with 200,000+ customers transacted through the platform, a deployed AI agent layer, an open marketplace (v1), and a full payment stack across multiple rails. The raise funds acceleration of the agentic commerce infrastructure and DAO marketplace layers.
Pavel Mulin — Founder & Lead Engineer Full-stack engineer with experience across distributed systems. Previously worked at Arrival and has led the development of multiple production systems and developer platforms.
Core Contributors ShopsBuilder is developed by a small distributed team of engineers and product contributors working on AI agents, marketplace infrastructure, and crypto payment systems.
Investors / Backers ShopsBuilder is currently a founder-led initiative supported by early community members and ecosystem partners. Strategic investors may join in later stages as the protocol and token ecosystem matures.
(a) IP ownership & control — The project's intellectual property, including codebases/repos and any associated trademarks/brands, is held by a Cayman Islands SPC (Segregated Portfolio Company) formed via MetaLeX. The SPC is governed by the DAO.
(b) Contract/admin powers — Governance is fully onchain and permissionless via the MetaDAO futarchy protocol on Solana. Token holders make decisions by trading conditional outcome tokens on proposal markets. Proposals pass or fail based on market-determined price impact on the project's token. There is no multisig, council, pause/upgrade roles, or centralized admin authority — all decisions are made through futarchy (market-based governance).
(c) Locked-token rights — The price-based performance premine tokens are locked with a minimum 18-month cliff and unlock based on sustained price performance milestones. Locked token holders do not have additional governance or decision-making rights beyond what unlocked token holders have. Locked tokens cannot vote or participate in governance until unlocked.
(d) Value accrual & holder rights — Token holders govern the DAO treasury through futarchy-governed proposals. The DAO treasury funds development directly — there is no separate development company. Revenue distribution and treasury allocation decisions are made via onchain governance proposals.
(e) Dissolution authority — Dissolution of the DAO would require an onchain futarchy governance proposal passed by the market. The Cayman SPC legal wrapper can be wound up per its constitutional documents as directed by DAO governance.
Each project launched through MetaDAO Accelerated has a Cayman Islands SPC (Segregated Portfolio Company) entity formed via MetaLeX. The entity holds the project's intellectual property and is governed by the DAO. There is no separate development company — the DAO treasury funds development directly through futarchy-governed proposals.
(a) Launch supply totals — 25,800,000 total tokens at launch. 10,000,000 tokens issued to ICO participants (unlocked). 2,900,000 tokens issued as protocol-owned liquidity (locked in pools). 12,900,000 tokens allocated as a price-based performance premine (locked with minimum 18-month cliff).
(b) Recipient categories & use of funds — • ICO Participants (10,000,000 tokens): Distributed pro-rata to all participants of the permissionless ICO based on contribution. Tokens are immediately unlocked. • Protocol-Owned Liquidity (2,900,000 tokens): 2,000,000 tokens paired with 20% of funds raised through the ICO in a liquidity pool. 900,000 tokens placed in a single-sided liquidity pool on Meteora. These tokens provide onchain trading liquidity. • Team / Performance Premine (12,900,000 tokens): Allocated to the founding team, subject to price-based vesting. Tokens unlock only if sustained price performance milestones are met.
(c) Initial price per token — Determined at ICO close based on total funds raised divided by 10,000,000 ICO tokens.
(d) Ticker / market symbol — AGC
(e) Total supply & supply regime — 25,800,000 total supply. The supply is fixed — there is no inflation or deflation mechanism.
(f) Initial vesting / release schedules — ICO participant tokens and protocol liquidity tokens are not subject to vesting. The team performance premine has a minimum 18-month cliff. The allocation is divided into 5 tranches of 20% each, unlockable after a 3-month TWAP evaluation period at price multiples of 2×, 4×, 8×, 16×, and 32× relative to launch price. The TWAP oracle can be called at any time but triggers a 3-month evaluation window before tokens are released.
There are no airdrops as part of the MetaDAO Accelerated ICO process. All token distribution occurs through the permissionless ICO mechanism. Any future token distributions would need to be passed via DAO governance proposal following the ICO and are not part of this launch.
There are no market maker agreements. Liquidity is provided through the Accelerated launch mechanism's built-in liquidity pool, which receives 20% of funds raised. There are no token loans, OTC deals, or designated market maker arrangements.
There are no CEX listing agreements. The token trades onchain on Solana DEXs from the moment of launch. No listing fees have been paid, and no exchange has been granted tokens or preferential access.
Series Name: MetaDAO Presale Vehicle: MetaLex powered Cayman Segregated Portfolio Company / Segregated Portfolio Start Date of Sale: [To be determined at launch] Number of Tokens Sold: 10,000,000 AGC tokens distributed to ICO participants pro-rata based on contribution. Vesting Schedules: There are no vesting schedules for ICO participant tokens. All tokens distributed through the presale are immediately unlocked and freely transferable at the conclusion of the ICO.
There are no prior SAFTs, SAFEs, convertible notes, private placements, or other fundraising rounds preceding this launch. No tokens were sold or distributed before this presale.
No security incidents, exploits, or hacks have affected the ShopsBuilder platform to date.
Crypto commerce regulation varies significantly by jurisdiction and is evolving rapidly. The agentic commerce layer, including x402-compatible payment flows and AI agent autonomy — relies on emerging standards that are not yet widely adopted. Adoption timelines are uncertain. The open-source release of DAO marketplace and storefront infrastructure creates the possibility of forks or competing deployments that may fragment the merchant ecosystem or reduce platform network effects.
By contributing to the fundraise for tokens ("Tokens"), you acknowledge and agree to the Futardio Terms of Service. Without limiting the foregoing, you also acknowledge and agree to all of the following information, terms and conditions:
The above descriptions, terms, and other content were created, determined, and supplied exclusively by prospective project contributors related to the ICO and are being republished on futard.io for convenience of reference only, as third-party content. Furtard.io is a technology platform being used by the prospective project contributors, and the owners and operators of Fudardio.fi and their respective affiliates are not the persons creating, endorsing, sponsoring, or discretionarily operating the ICO. Fudard.io and its owners and operators and their respective affiliates assume no (and by participating in the ICO or otherwise using futard.io, you agree that they shall not have any) responsibility or liability for the accuracy or completeness of the above descriptions, terms and other content, or any other representations, statements, opinions, projections, terms, or information made by or on behalf of the prospective project contributors in connection with the ICO.
The following terms and conditions apply between you, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, both the owners and operators (and their affiliates) of Futard.io or MetaDAO and the prospective ICO project contributors and related legal entity(ies) and their respective affiliates:
No Guarantees. The Tokens are provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis. Participation in the fundraise does not come with any guarantees, promises, or assurances of any kind, including—but not limited to—financial return, performance, future utility, or access to any platform, product, or service.
Not an Offer of Securities. The Tokens do not represent a security, equity, loan, or ownership interest in any entity or project. Participation in this fundraise is not intended to be, and shall not be construed as, an offering of securities, nor does it constitute an offer or solicitation in any jurisdiction where such activity is unlawful. You are responsible to refrain from participation in the ICO if your jurisdiction does not permit such participation.
Final Sale. All contributions made as part of the fundraise are final and non-refundable. By participating, you understand and accept that you will not be entitled to a refund or compensation under any circumstances, including but not limited to loss of value or inability to use the Tokens.

Nature of Token MetaDAO Platform ICOs. You acknowledge and agree that the ICO is a transaction entirely by and among ICO participants, in which such participants contribute certain blockchain tokens into the sole control or custody of Solana-based "smart contracts" or "programs" as a method of establishing a decentralized autonomous decision market oriented toward the research, development, promotion and/or utilization of the above-described project. The ensuing market oracle–sometimes also referred to as a type of "DAO"-- is intended to govern both the deposited tokens and aspects of the related project, using "Futarchy". These smart contracts or programs exist independently of Futard.io or MetaDAO, on the Solana blockchain, and do not have a legal "owner" or "custodian", but instead will be controlled by the market-based governance process embedded in the decision market protocol, as expressed in the code of the smart contracts/programs. The deposited tokens do not represent a capital investment in any legal entity (including the legal entity referred to in the following paragraph) or group of managers or entrepreneurs, and the decision market may revoke funds out of the pool at any time, or may cease using the funds for the currently contemplated project or using them to pay the currently contemplated prospective project contributors, and may instead use them for other purposes, as determined by the decision market oracle aka "DAO." The current prospective project contributors will not immediately own or have any discretionary or managerial control of the deposit pool, and any related services such prospective project contributors provide will be on an independent contractor basis to the community, as determined on an ongoing basis by the decision market oracle aka "DAO." The tokens issued by the program/smart contract in exchange for deposited funds are not initially owned by, and are not being sold or offered by, Futard.io or MetaDAO or the prospective project contributors or any related entity(ies), but rather are issued by the smart-contract/system itself to enable ongoing functionality of the related decision market oracle aka "DAO". Any funds received from the deposit pool by the current prospective project contributors or future project contributors represent retroactive or prospective compensation for work done or to be done by such project contributors that is approved by the related decision market oracle aka "DAO", on the initiative of, and based on the managerial or entrepreneurial efforts of, participants in that market aka "DAO participants".
DAO-Adjacent Entity aka BORG. One or more members of the prospective project contributors may have established a particular type of legal entity related to the project. These entities, known as cybernetic organizations, aka 'BORGs", hold intellectual property related to the project and may receive the funds, if any, determined by the decision market oracle to be paid to the prospective project contributors as compensation for work done or to be done related to the project. BORGs contain special rules designed to provide accountability of project contributors to the community, including prohibiting the issuance of equity securities and requirements to consult the decision market oracle (sometimes on a signaling basis, sometimes on a binding basis) for decisions related to their work on the project and the related intellectual property and assets. Many of these entities are "segregated portfolios" of a Cayman Islands entity called Futarchy Governance SPC. Segregated portfolios provide separate layers of assets and liabilities within this entity, and each particular segregated portfolio is managed in the sole discretion of its "Manager(s)", subject to the terms and conditions of Futarchy Governance SPC and the Operating Agreement of that specific segregated portfolio. The ICO does not represent an investment in the SPC or segregated portfolio, and participants in the ICO and holders of the tokens being issued in the ICO do not have any legal rights in or ownership of the SPC or segregated portfolio, and are not owed any fiduciary or other duties by the participants in the SPC or segregated portfolio, but the SPC, in respect of the segregated portfolio, is legally required to abide by certain determinations of the decision market created by the ICO. Please review the project description above to determine the specific legal entity(ies) or other arrangements identified by the prospective project contributors. You hereby acknowledge and agree that you have reviewed, or had the opportunity to review, the information and documents presented or linked to from that description and acknowledge, consent to and accept the risks of all related legal entities and arrangements.
Understanding the Mechanism. This is an onchain fundraising mechanism with a fixed token supply and an uncapped USDC raise. A minimum funding threshold applies. There is no in-protocol cap on the amount that may be claimed beyond the stated minimum. If the minimum funding threshold is not reached, all contributed funds will be returned to participants. By participating, you confirm that you understand the program and have reviewed the relevant documentation available at https://docs.metadao.fi.
By contributing or attempting to contribute to the fundraise for Tokens, you confirm that you have read, understood, and accepted the terms above.
