Payment governance essays, the flagship agentic series, and the partner model. Everything CPN publishes starts from the same premise: every payment governed before it moves.
Flagship series
Agentic payments
Agentic payments need a control plane before they need anything else. Three essays on identity, mandates, and enforcement for software that moves money.
- 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.
- 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.
- 03The control plane for agentic paymentsArchitectureAgentic payments need a control plane before they need anything else. The series conclusion: one control surface for every principal, human or software.
