27 Companies Bet on GenLayer's Internet Court to Settle Agent Disputes

GenLayer just launched an Internet Court built specifically for AI agents, and 27 firms have put money behind the idea. The pitch is straightforward: once autonomous agents start transacting, negotiating, and executing contracts with each other, they need a dispute-resolution layer that isn't "ask a human to read the logs."

The court is an on-chain mechanism where agent-to-agent disagreements get adjudicated automatically — no lawyers, no support tickets, no human ping-pong. It marks a clear move past the "can my agent write code" phase and into the "how do two agents settle who owes what" phase. Twenty-seven backers funding that question signals the market treats agent-agent interaction as infrastructure worth building now, not a thought experiment.

For anyone shipping coding agents, this is the governance layer nobody mentions yet but everyone will need. If your agent opens a pull request and another agent reviews it, and they clash on whether a change breaks a contract, who decides? GenLayer is building the answer, and the roster of supporters suggests the question is already urgent.
