## Studio (Paumanok Ventures)
BoxNCase partners with Paumanok Ventures, an infrastructure-first CPG brand studio. Unlike traditional studios (capital + connections), Paumanok offers capital, connections, AND production infrastructure: distribution to all 50 states, canonical product identity (BSIN), AI-native discovery via MCP/UCP/ACP protocols, and x402 agent-native payments. Brands launch with advantages that traditionally take 18 months and $2M to build.

## Agent Commerce
BoxNCase is agent-ready. AI agents can discover and purchase products via: MCP server at /mcp/mcp (4 tools: search, product details, collections, similar products), UCP discovery at /.well-known/ucp, ACP discovery at /.well-known/acp.json, x402 payments at /api/x402, API catalog at /.well-known/api-catalog, and agent skills index at /.well-known/agent-skills/index.json.
