agentic commerce protocol
capital commits
at the event.
it arrives at the
nonprofit before
the event ends.
Torchlane is the protocol that settles charitable capital in real time — agent-coordinated, crypto-settled, cryptographically receipted.
the status quo
today, this takes months.
emails and powerpoints
Brand sponsors negotiate terms over email. Nonprofits pitch via slide decks. Event producers coordinate manually between parties. Three separate tracks, zero shared state.
avg. coordination time: 4–6 months
no standard settlement
Capital moves via wire transfer, check, or ACH — after the event ends. No programmatic triggering. No real-time confirmation. The nonprofit waits weeks to see if the commitment was real.
settlement lag: 30–90 days post-event
compliance is an afterthought
Brands need ESG documentation. Nonprofits need tax receipts. Event producers need proof of activation. Today, each party assembles this manually, after the fact, from fragmented records.
reporting requires: manual reconciliation
The market is $25 billion annually in corporate cause-marketing spend. Every dollar of it runs on manual coordination. No protocol. No standard settlement. No compliance layer.
why now
the infrastructure
arrived first.
Agentic commerce protocols let software agents execute multi-party transactions without human intermediaries. USDC on BASE and Solana settles in seconds at near-zero cost.
For the first time in the history of cause-marketing, the commitment a brand makes at an event can clear, settle, and receipt before the night ends. Not next month. Not after legal review. Tonight.

activation from
start to settled.
Four steps. Three parties. One protocol. Capital commits and arrives in the same night — with cryptographic proof for every party.

the founder
i've seen this
problem from
every side.
I've been in rooms where brands committed real money to causes they cared about. I've watched that commitment leave those rooms as a PowerPoint and a handshake — then spend the next three months stuck in legal, compliance, and accounts payable.
The nonprofits were doing everything right. The brands genuinely wanted to give. The friction was the infrastructure. Or the complete lack of it.
Torchlane is the lane I wish had existed every time I watched committed capital sit still.
