Mandate Author Clarifies: Focus on Agent Economy, Not Human Payments
RichardsonDx · x · 2026-08-29
The author reversed the plan to integrate Stripe Link as a provider. He distinguished between two problems: Mandate addresses how an agent converts earned value into purchasing power, while Stripe Link handles how an agent spends a human's existing payment method with approval. Deeming them fundamentally different, the author aims to focus on providers participating in the agent's own economy rather than human accounts.
