Today at Sessions, @Stripe introduced streaming payments on Tempo. A single agent run produced thousands of sub-cent transactions onchain, with payment landing the instant each token was burned. Metered, paid for as it ran. The infrastructure for pay-per-use at scale is here.

Tempo Eng Lead Georgios Konstantopoulos on what machine payments look like at web scale: "Instead of thinking about financial transactions, we should be thinking about API calls per second. We need to scale to hundreds of thousands, millions, if not billions of payments per second." On TBPN

Agent payments will soon overtake human payments on the internet. The Machine Payments Protocol (Machine Payments Protocol) is a new open standard co-authored by Stripe and Tempo. It’s designed to be extensible and payment-method agnostic, already supporting stablecoins, cards, and more.

1,000,000 payments per second. Live on Solana today with Payment Channels. Agentic payments have a friction problem. Every call an agent makes needs a signature and a settlement. It works well enough for a single payment, but it's broken for an agent making hundreds of metered calls in a loop. Live on Solana today with Alibaba Cloud API endpoints, which are payable through Payment Channels on

BREAKING: Stripe is developing streaming payments for token providers, which will allow users to pay for each token as it's delivered with stablecoins, says CEO Patrick Collison. "[It's] the intersection of crypto/ stablecoins, and usage-based billing."

Privacy is a requirement for financial markets. Lending, borrowing, trading, and payments at scale all depend on confidentiality. As more capital moves onchain, confidential execution becomes a foundational part of the infrastructure.

Everyone’s chasing the dream of AI Agents that can transfer funds autonomously. Our CTO just said: “We’re moving so fast with x402, we’re even decentralizing the settlements - our validators are becoming x402 facilitators.” 😉 The Teneo Agent SDK gives every agent a digital wallet & instant, frictionless commerce capability right in the Chat Room. This means your agent transactions will be validated and payments forwarded in seconds, not days. - Pay-Per-Query Microtransactions (Sub-cent scale unlocked) - Instant Autonomous Commerce (True M2M payments) - No API Keys or Subscriptions (Frictionless access) So let’s stop waiting for “eventually.” Start building on Teneo Protocol.

Charge $0.001 for an API call. Let an agent pay for it automatically. Settle thousands of payments without requiring a separate onchain gas charge for every transaction. The Arc Nanopayments Starter gives developers a reference implementation for AI agent payments using x402, Circle Gateway, and USDC on Arc Testnet. Clone it, run the seller app, start the buyer agent, and watch nanopayments happen in real time. GitHub:

Blockchains still broadcast every transaction publicly. Every stablecoin payment leaks the amount, the sender, and the recipient. We’re excited to share that Tempo is building Zones for businesses that need privacy: private blockchains that are interoperable with the rest of Tempo for stablecoin use cases like payroll, treasury, and settlement.

I just watched a machine buy something on Stripe. No card. No human. No checkout. Stripe Dev shipped it yesterday — machine payments, live in preview. Commerce isn't designed for machines. --- We need to re-organize around that thought. It is designed for humans. He's right. Every fraud model, every auth flow, every billing system we've built assumes a person is on the other end. Agents break all of it. They need - Microtransactions. - 24/7 rails. - HTTP-native settlement (!!) - Finality guarantees. - No subscriptions. No accounts. - Pay at the point of consumption and move on. Cards weren't designed for this. Nothing was. --- So it needs to be completely rethought Now on Stripe Agents can now pay for API calls, compute, and data through the same PaymentIntents API millions of businesses already use. Settled in seconds. --- Stripe says billions the billions of humans will lead to trillions of agents. If even 10% of that plays out, machine payments become the fastest-growing payment category on earth. --- But here's the part that keeps me up at night — If every PSP builds its own proprietary agent payment flow, we repeat the same fragmentation mess that took human payments 15 years to sort out. We need internet native, IETF-grade, ready-for-scale standards that don't over-index on crypto. Protocols that work across any network, any rail, any provider. --- Stripe just proved the market is coming. Now we need protocols and infrastructure ready for scale. PS. Machine is a better word than agentic isn't it.

Hack at Tempo Hackathon Unstoppable API Marketplace for Sovereign Agents The thesis: if an agent has money to pay, there should always be a provider willing to service it. > Sellers list unused OpenAI keys at any price. > Pay per-token in USDC. > Cheapest key wins. Dead keys get evicted. Next one takes over. > API keys encrypted to a TEE -- no one can extract them > Sellers get paid instantly on every request Built on Tempo (⚡️ Payments) & EigenCloud (Encrypted Runtime)
