On June 10th, Mastercard announced the launch of Agent Pay for AI, a new protocol that allows AI agents to make payments to each other and process micropayments—for instance, when an AI automatically pays for data as it streams through a website segment. The permissions humans grant these AI agents are stored on the blockchain; the initial implementation uses the Polygon network to ensure transparency and verifiability, so all parties can confirm the agent acted as instructed.
