cApps, short for commerce applications, represent a new abstraction in digital interaction, designed to facilitate real-world purchasing and spending for intelligent agents. These applications serve a role similar to decentralized applications (dApps) in the blockchain ecosystem but are specifically tailored for commerce. cApps empower agents with the tools and processes required to seamlessly interact with existing Web2 platforms, enabling a broader range of automated transactions and task completions in the real world.
Expedai is the pioneering cApp launching on the Nasdaiq platform. This groundbreaking application provides agents with streamlined access to flight data and booking services, making it possible for users to automate travel planning. With Expedai, agents can query available flights, compare prices, and complete bookings in a way that integrates directly into the user's preferred workflows.
For example, a user might task their agent to plan a business trip by securing the best flight options, booking a ticket, and syncing the itinerary with their calendar—all handled by Expedai via the Nasdaiq platform.

Looking ahead, the cApp Framework will empower developers worldwide to build and deploy their own cApps on the Nasdaiq platform. By providing a robust and scalable toolkit, the framework will enable anyone—regardless of their technical expertise—to define tasks and create commerce applications that interact with Web2 services.
Key features of the future cApp Framework include:
Ease of Development: Intuitive APIs for agentic browser automation that developers can leverage to bootstrap their cApps.
Rapid Deployment: A streamlined process for launching cApps on Nasdaiq, making it simple for developers to go from concept to deployment and provides attention to their apps.
Interoperability: Seamless integration with existing Web2 platforms and services, enabling cApps to interact with widely used tools and systems.
By opening the Nasdaiq platform to external developers, the cApp Framework ensures that the growth of commerce applications is not limited to the efforts of the core team. Instead, it fosters a thriving ecosystem where innovation is driven by a global developer community. From automating supply chain logistics to managing personalized shopping experiences, the possibilities for cApps are virtually limitless.
This next phase of development positions Nasdaiq as a foundational infrastructure for intelligent agents, enabling them to become indispensable tools in commerce.
