@awrigh01 L6 and L8 aren’t separate layers, pre-execution governance IS the settlement gate. The signature isn’t pay(...), it’s pay_if_governed(...). Payments are also where your proof-of-authority problem has its cleanest empirical test, money moving is binary authority.
@blocmates Good breakdown. But every one of these assumes the agent executing the session is legitimate, on a clean network, acting within authorised intent. None have a layer deciding that before the session starts. That gap scales with adoption.
@gakonst Splits across multiple recipients in one transaction is powerful. The governance question becomes critical fast, when an agent executes this autonomously, who’s enforcing that each recipient leg is legitimate before anything fires?
@davidmarcus Identity and money are necessary. But who decides whether the agent with both should execute this specific payment, right now, on this rail? That decision layer is still missing.
@robbiepetersen_ The monthly billing point is well made. But the agents that do transact autonomously, even within closed orgs, still need governance above the rail. The compliance and audit requirement doesn’t disappear because the volume is lower.
@laurashin@robbiepetersen_ Exactly right. Agent behavior is deterministic and operates at machine speed. The fraud models we’ve spent 30 years building weren’t designed for this. And neither were the governance frameworks that sit above them.
@JackSimison@turnkeyhq@privy@safe@phylaxsystems Exactly. Ensuring the agent’s actions comply with policy before the payment goes through. Agent Pay is a strong start on cards. Phylax is interesting on-chain. But the cross-rail question, who governs when an agent operates across both, is still wide open.
@JackSimison@turnkeyhq@privy@safe Agreed those handle wallet-level guardrails well. But they’re scoped to one wallet on one rail. When an agent is transacting across multiple issuers and settling across cards and stablecoins simultaneously, who enforces policy across all of it? That’s the missing layer.
@0xfishylosopher Great framework. One layer missing, who decides the agent was authorised to act before it reaches the guardrails? Credentials prove identity. Guardrails catch fraud. Neither enforces the mandate. That’s the gap.
@0xfishylosopher@PanteraCapital@cosmo_jiang@SPLehman Sharp framework. Each of these progressions assumes policy enforcement that doesn’t exist yet. Who governs spend limits as micro → macro? Who checks compliance in the automated checkout loop? Identity and rails are being solved. The governance layer is wide open.
$SHIRO might be heating up! 🔥
With ETH volume picking back up, $SHIRO's price could really take off here.
It's at a 30M MC now, but I believe this has potential to go to 100M very soon.
