latticecut · x · 2026-08-30
Patrick Collison listed key components needed to build the "economic infrastructure for AI," essentially rebuilding every layer of the Stripe stack:
- Wallets & Auth: Link, Privy for agent wallets and identity verification.
- Payments & Billing: MPP (Merchant Payment Protocol), Tempo, MCP (Model Context Protocol), Stripe CLI, Metronome/metered billing.
- Security & Risk: Radar, distillation/token fraud.
This indicates that to support the practical deployment of AI agents and high-scale software, the existing economic payment and infrastructure systems are undergoing profound changes.
