AI-Agent Payment Routing

payments.qa.1 becomes the canonical payment orchestration endpoint. AI agents initiate payments, qa.1 determines the best route, and settlement happens via crypto, stablecoins, bank APIs or hybrid routes.

Trade Agreement

IBM ADS agents complete discovery, verification, negotiation and contract execution through doha.qa.1.

Payment Request

Buyer agent submits SETTLE TRADE to payments.qa.1.

Route Analysis

qa.1 evaluates cost, speed, compliance, sanctions, AML, liquidity, FX and counterparty preferences.

Best Route Selection

Possible routes include bank settlement, stablecoin settlement, EDEBIT, future CBDCs or hybrid settlement.

Settlement

Funds move through the selected rail and settlement is confirmed by the orchestration layer.

Rights Transfer

MLETR.1 transfers control, ownership changes and goods are released when conditions are satisfied.

SAF Discovery, Trading and Settlement

saf.qa.1 is proposed as the flagship commodity endpoint for Sustainable Aviation Fuel, connecting SAF producers, airlines, airports, fuel traders, carbon markets, logistics providers and regulators.

Discovery

buyer.qatarairways.saf.qa.1 searches saf.qa.1 for inventory, carbon intensity scores, origin certificates, delivery options and pricing.

Verification

GTINToken.1 records feedstock source, production facility, sustainability certifications, chain of custody and carbon reduction data.

Settlement

MLETR.1 issues transferable records and payments are released when delivery, quality, inspection and compliance conditions are satisfied.

IBM ADS Programme Integration

IBM ADS agents become the orchestration layer, monitoring trade status, compliance status, payment status, settlement status and delivery status, then triggering the next workflow step.

Namespace Steward

IBM Partner Operator

An IBM Partner can operate Doha.Trade / Doha.qa.1, provide managed services, integrate IBM tooling and manage SLAs.

Value Added Services

Integration + Compliance

Partners can provide onboarding, trade APIs, customs interfaces, bank integrations, identity services and sector endpoint support.
