Abstract

$CENTRY, a Base AI-Agent and Virtuals Protocol Hackathon finalist, powers the Agent Commerce Protocol (ACP) v2 with its Butler AI-Agent. It is the world’s first AI-Powered Cyber Security Information and Intelligence Hub on Base and Virtuals Protocol, revolutionising how cyber security knowledge is accessed and applied.

By automating the aggregation and analysis of cyber security data, $CENTRY delivers actionable insights on best practices, compliance updates, and industry trends. It addresses a global shortage of 3.5 million cyber security professionals in 2025 (Cybersecurity Ventures), empowering new entrants, professionals, and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to strengthen their digital defences against £7.6 trillion ($10.5 trillion) in annual cybercrime costs.

Built on Base x402, Bazaar, Base Mini Apps, and Farcaster, and fully integrated on Virtuals Protocol using the ACP Software Development Kit (SDK), $CENTRY leverages blockchain for transparency. It democratises access to cyber security expertise in a market projected to reach £198 billion ($271.9 billion) by 2029, ensuring users worldwide can effectively and affordably secure their digital assets.
