## What it is
Bindu is an open-source Python framework that provides the identity, communication, and payments layer for AI agents, implementing the A2A (Agent-to-Agent) protocol over JSON-RPC 2.0 and the X402 micropayment extension. It turns local agent scripts into production-ready microservices with built-in DID identity, Hydra OAuth2, optional mTLS, observability, and task-based orchestration.

## Use cases
- deploy an AI agent as a production microservice
- let agents talk to each other across frameworks and languages
- add verifiable identity (DID) to autonomous agents
- enable micropayments between agents with x402
- orchestrate multi-agent swarms with task tracking
- secure agent-to-agent communication with mTLS
- expose an agent via a standard A2A-compliant HTTP API

## When to choose
- you need A2A protocol compliance and cross-framework agent interoperability
- you want identity, auth, payments, and observability handled out of the box
- you're building multi-agent systems that must prove who they are and transact
- you want to ship an agent quickly without writing infrastructure boilerplate

## When to avoid
- you only need a single local agent with no inter-agent communication
- you need a fully stable, long-term-supported release (project is young, 0.3.x)
- you require a permissive, well-defined license (license is NOASSERTION)
- you need AP2 payment support today (roadmap only, not shipped)
