How AI Agents will Pay, Trade & Build Trust

As AI agents move beyond simple chatbots into systems that can plan, call services, complete tasks, and coordinate with other agents, a big question emerges: how can they participate in the economy?

In this session, we’ll explore why AI agents may need digital wallets, stablecoin payments, portable identity, reputation, and programmable agreements to operate across the open internet. We’ll also unpack emerging ideas like agent-to-agent payments, escrow-based work, verification, and trust layers, giving attendees a practical view of how AI and blockchain could come together to power the next generation of autonomous digital commerce.
