Agentic workflows

AI agents and autonomous systems require efficient payment infrastructure to handle high volumes of micro-transactions.

Challenge

  • Individual micro-transactions become cost-prohibitive at scale.

  • Cross-chain operations add significant complexity.

  • High operational overhead managing multiple tokens and chains.

  • Rebuilding of payment infrastructure instead of focusing on core tasks.

Solution

  • Allow agents to pay and get paid without building custom payment infrastructure

  • Optimize micro-transactions through specialized clearing and payment streams

  • Chain and gas token abstraction to simplify operations

  • Enable efficient value transfer between agents

Workflow context

  • High frequency of micro-transactions (often sub-$1)

  • Burst patterns during peak agent activity

  • Cross-chain requirements as agents interact across networks

  • Need for delayed settlement to optimize costs

  • Heavy preference for stablecoins

  • Regular payment relationships between agent clusters

  • Resource sensitivity to payment overhead

Agents carrying their own wallets can freely transact with other agents or users with programmable payment intents.
