Agentic payments

Visit the Innovation stream

Agentic payments need a control plane before they need anything else. Three essays on identity, mandates, and enforcement for software that moves money.

  1. 01Agents are a new principal classIdentitySoftware that moves money is not a tool anymore. It is a principal, and it needs an identity discipline of its own: KYA, beside KYB and KYC.
  2. 02An agent is only as trusted as its mandateAuthorityAuthority for an agent is inherited, bounded, and revocable. The mandate is the instrument that makes it so: held as evidence, enforced at runtime.
