@beyond__tech congrats team, big milestone!

5/ Humans swipe at merchants. Agents swarm APIs. No spillover.

The future isn't cards OR stables, it's both with routing the right rail per txn.

Great thread by @JackSimison, below is my take on this dilemma

1/Cards vs Stables tldr
- Cards win for human-proxy tasks (flights, SaaS, subscriptions).
- Stables win for machine-native ($0.001 API calls, metered compute).

Neither wins alone.

4/Our blueprint:
→ Tokenized isolation: agent-specific spend caps and policies bound to separate Visa tokens. aka no Human score damage.
→ Dual scoring: human history boosts agent limits, agent failures trigger quarantine to stables only. Bidirectional but firewalled.
→ Rail routing: >$X through BTC-collateralized Visa, <$X direct stables (TBC)
→ Onchain escrow: verify delivery pre-settlement, rep updates live via ERC-8004.
