It was wonderful meeting Commissioner Hester Peirce at the SEC Crypto on the Road Roundtable yesterday.
Commissioner Peirce not only listened to our thoughts and experiences, but also asked insightful questions that made the conversation truly meaningful.
Pleased to share my article "The Stablecoin Shift" has appeared in BDIC Magazine's June Issue (pg. 37 - 38).
I share thoughts on how Credit Unions are in a unique position to bring trust to trustless technology... and why their cooperative model is a competitive advantage.
@Team1USA_@XKOVAPAY You have totally made my day!! Thank you so much for all your kind words ♥️ Happy and grateful to be surrounded by such awesome people, community, + fellow builders in Team1!
Team1 USA Builder Spotlight
@CandiJarrett is the co-founder of @XKOVAPAY, building the authentication and payment rails for AI agents on Avalanche. An award-winning novelist who took a seat at the SEC's Crypto Roundtable last fall, Candice brings a rare combination of creative and technical range to everything she builds.
What Is XKOVA?
XKOVA's easily installable SDK helps agents and humans with wallet management, authentication, and scoped permissions. The SDK supports x402, ACP, and EIP-8004, so AI agents can pay for APIs, complete purchases, and manage subscriptions on behalf of users. x402 handles HTTP-native payments, ACP enables agent-to-merchant transactions, and EIP-8004 is an emerging EVM standard for interoperable agentic payments.
In October 2025, @atxwiw3 invited Candice to instruct their web3 founder cohort, backed by @AvaxTeam1, where she shared what years of building blockchain infrastructure look like in practice.
Her debut novel, ‘MORTAL TETHER,’ won Top Pick 2024 from the Reader Ready Awards. Her new children's book, ‘No Pea in the Pool,’ drops July 1 and is available for pre-order.
Not many builders move between AI agent payments, SEC regulators, and picture books about peas. Candice does, making Avalanche and Team1 better in the process.
My book is in the Top 100 in Baby & Toddler! 🤯Sitting right between Elmo and Dr. Seuss!
I was stumped why my ranking is so high when No Pea is only up for pre-order + I haven't even marketed yet??
Found out it's because Amazon featured it in New Releases! 🤯
Exciting!!
