Vision

Building the Transaction Layer for the AI Economy

The next wave of commerce won't be driven by humans clicking buttons — it will be powered by billions of AI agents making autonomous decisions. Every data lookup, API call, and compute request is an opportunity for interaction. Current payment infrastructure simply can't handle this future. We've built the system that can.
