Why it matters
Agent-initiated commerce is the next frontier for LLM deployment, and the identity, fraud, and payment authorization gaps it exposes are unsolved at the infrastructure level — the companies in this room are building that stack.
The tokenmaxxing angle
When agents spend money autonomously, every API call that triggers a transaction carries financial risk beyond token cost. The identity-and-payments panel covers how to bind human authorization to agent actions — directly relevant to safe agentic spend infrastructure.
