We can now automate the commerce process." Eddy Lazzarin ☀️ on what's actually solved, and what isn't: "You tell it a thing, it kind of knows what you wanna do and it can map that to some tools, to some networks and to some services. And that part being solved is incredibly exciting." "The rest is kind of complicated. If you're gonna have a so-called agent engage in commerce for you, you need some story around authority and delegation. How do I prove to someone that this agent actually represents me?"

Inside Stripe's MPP IRL: machine payments, stablecoins, and the future of agent commerce. Agents are starting to pay for things on their own: API calls, services, each other. Nobody's agreed on how that should work. This panel was three takes on it. Jen (Stripe) leads product for Machine Payments — the open standard for how agents pay for things. Dan Romero (Tempo) is building stablecoin payment rails, and thinks that's what agent commerce runs on, not cards. Michael Blau (Royal) magician turned a16z Crypto partner turned CTO is exploring programmable money for creators, and why the demand side is barely here yet. We got into: • Why HTTP 402, a status code from the early web, is suddenly the backbone of agent payments • Why Dan thinks a credit card is a private key and why stablecoins are safer for agents • Where stablecoins actually win first • Whether you should build for agent payments now or wait • Why the demand side is "virtually nonexistent" and what that means if you're building 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐒 (00:00) Event Kickoff JEN LEE — Product Lead, Stripe (00:44) What the Machine Payments Protocol Is (01:28) How MPP Works — the HTTP 402 Payment Challenge (03:25) Adoption So Far: ~30,000 Transactions (04:04) Building Trust — Shared Tokens & the Link Agent Wallet (05:56) What the Creator Economy Looks Like When the Audience Is Agents (07:15) What She Was Certain About at 22 That's Now Wrong DAN ROMERO — GTM, Tempo (08:34) Meet Dan (08:49) Why Stablecoins, and the Genius Act Tailwind (09:48) "A Credit Card Is Basically a Private Key" (11:19) Should Every Company Be Thinking About MPP?

Why do we need a purpose-built blockchain for agentic payments? Because AI agents are now smart enough to operate autonomously, and they need their own rails to transact with each other. Watch the video to see what that looks like in action: A real agent, built on Kite AI, helped our CTO Scott Shi - e/acc order lunch from Uber Eats fully on its own. It explored menu options, made the choice, and completed the payment - all without human intervention. This marks the beginning of agentic commerce and the future of agentic payments - and Kite AI is building this.

This is the year everything changes for entrepreneurs. We’re only two weeks into 2026 and this is what we’re dropping. → Opening up the Shopify Catalog to ANY brand with our new Agentic plan. All merchants, whether or not they’re on Shopify, can sell across AI channels. → We’ve added even more channels to Agentic Storefronts, now including Google AI Mode, Gemini and Microsoft Copilot Checkout. And we already announced ChatGPT last year. → We built the Universal Commerce Protocol (aka UCP) with Google. The open standard for AI agents to connect and transact with any merchant. Shopify is the commerce layer of the AI era. Let’s go.
