What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Track; not yet

Why
Heavyweight backing (Shopify + Etsy/Target/Walmart/Wayfair, plus Visa/Mastercard/Amex) and a clean layered, AP2/A2A/MCP-interoperable design make it strategically unavoidable, but waitlist gating plus missing cart/post-purchase capabilities mean a full build today is premature (Rules 4, 28, 29)
Next
Join the merchant waitlist to secure an integration slot; map UCP's capability/extension negotiation model against existing AP2/UCP-credential and ACP work; defer build until multi-item carts and the Gemini-app surface ship
