Building safe Payment Infrastructure for the autonomous economy
summary
Demos show concrete primitives not promises: a shared credential mechanism enforces seller scope and spend limits (a $50 charge is blocked when a token is limited to $25, then $25 succeeds), payments can be requested by returning 402s and settled via a Machine Payments Protocol (Tempo example posts a 1¢ transaction to chain), and product/checkout state is exposed via an agent commerce protocol (ACP) so agents get deterministic carts; these are implemented today as shared payment tokens.
