What is WAVE Streaming Platform?
WAVE is an open-protocol streaming platform designed to bridge the gap between human users and autonomous agents. It provides a unified API that treats human-driven video consumption and agent-driven data retrieval as identical processes, utilizing native HTTP-402 payment negotiation to facilitate machine-to-machine transactions. By enforcing authentication, metering, and compliance at the edge, WAVE allows AI systems to interact with video content in a secure, auditable, and commercially viable manner.

It uses a machine-readable OpenAPI surface to allow agents to discover, negotiate access, and pay for video assets directly. The bot's behavior is governed by strict gateway-enforced trust and compliance protocols, ensuring that all data retrieval is logged for auditability and aligned with enterprise-grade privacy standards.
