Agentic commerce
Commercial models for an economy where machines transact.
Pricing, architecture, settlement, identity and partnership design for autonomous-agent transactions built so your finance team can stand behind them.
Peebles - strategy and onchain delivery
The next economy will be machine-paced. An economy of machines is a new challenge facing all businesses.
Peebles works with enterprises and crypto-native teams on the commercial models, infrastructure choices and go-to-market that the next economy will actually run on.
What we do
We focus on three areas where businesses face challenges with the next economy.
Tokenisation
Real-world assets, onchain, in production.
From asset selection to issuance, custody, distribution and secondary-market design. Support for institutions launching digital assets and for crypto-native teams launching tokens.
Onchain security
The control plane for the agentic stack.
LLMs, MCPs, APIs, keys and transaction signing offer many attack surfaces. We help teams secure the whole on-chain and agentic AI stack.
