@keyserfaty Let's get in touch, seems we are working on something very similar.

[tom @relet]

@keyserfaty So you are showing new users on a service you made to create Virtual Cards but have no way of issuing them?

[tom @relet]

In 2026, a permanent financial footprint is a security flaw.

@ClawdCards are Ephemeral by design: single use or timed expiration, whichever threshold hits first. Once the task is completed, the card burns automatically.

Your agent shouldn't leave a trail of permanent credentials, it should only leave a trail of executed tasks.

[tom @relet]

The legacy world asks for a passport, the agentic world asks for Proof of Intent.

Clawd Cards don't just bank the agent, we verify the human-to-agent delegation on chain via Non Custodial KYA. Compliance isn't a bottleneck, it’s the rail.

But autonomy without boundaries is a liability. Every card is provisioned with a mandatory MCC (Merchant Category Code) lock. If you build a DevOps agent, it can pay for AWS, but it physically cannot be tricked into buying a Rolex or a flight to Ibiza.

We don't just give agents hands, we give them a job description.

Pretty soon every button click will trigger agentic autonomy

[Frank @frankdegods]

Pretty soon every button click will trigger an agentic workflow

[shafu @shafu0x]

fucking obvious that the frontier is agentic commerce

[tom @relet]

Intelligence shouldn't mean infinite risk.

Every @ClawdCard is generated with a task specific velocity limit. Your agent only gets access to the exact amount of $USDC it sends to the API for that specific task.

If your bot hits a logic loop or an infinite retry, it hits a hard ceiling, not your treasury. Precision spending for autonomous minds.

[tom @relet]

Agency is the ability to act.

Our first demo shows an autonomous agent detecting a legacy paywall and solving it instantly via the @ClawdCards API.

No human intervention, no friction, just a programmatic bridge between an agent’s logic and real world commerce.

The hands for the agentic brain are here, this is what real autonomy looks like.

[tom @relet]

Would be nice to have best of both worlds.

Doesn't hurt to mention that 99.5% of the World's Population hasn't touched Claude Code yet.

[Santiago R Santos @santiagoroel]

Stop trying to make crypto human-friendly.

It’s a native protocol for AI. While we sleep, robots will be using programmable money (stablecoins) to settle global transactions on financial rails that never close

[tom @relet]

@mograxyz Banking you say...

[tom @relet]

The smartest unbanked population in history.

We’ve built god brains that can reason through quantum physics but still hit a wall the moment they need to pay for $50 hosting.

The intelligence is here, we’re just missing the rails. #FiatGap 🛡️

[Sam Broner @SamBroner]

It’s really important people remember that credit cards are a bundled product and the 3% fee IS NOT for the payment part.

But the benefits of CCs, fraud protection, reversibility, credit, rewards, are what makes it so hard for them to be used for agentic payments.

Stablecoins win when agents are Tourists in the Bazaar, needing to transact atomically to improve trust, simplify reconciliation, and get started today.

[Tommy @Shaughnessy119]

You’re allowed to be interested in both AI and Crypto. We live in the most interesting time. It’s called range.

[tom @relet]

We will need to beef up our API 😂

[Cointelegraph @Cointelegraph]

🔥 INSIGHT: Stripe says blockchains may need 1B TPS to support an AI agent-driven future.

Which network do you think can handle that?

[shafu @shafu0x]

Agentic Commerce is here!

Most people don’t see it yet.

But AI agents are about to become the biggest economic actors on the internet.

🧵

[tom @relet]

Why is every agentic payment demo custodial? 🚩

We’re building the first API that lets agents provision their own virtual cards directly with any USDC on @base.

No middleman. No human-in-the-loop. Just sovereign execution. ⛓️

[tom @relet]

What happens when agents experience luck?

They’ll realize that ups are just data driven timing, but downs are infrastructural. You can't navigate the volatility of the real world with logic alone.

[John A De Goes @jdegoes]

All new software and even websites should be built from this assumption:

The primary user is going to be an AI.

[tom @relet]

@neuralunlock @gabalab Onchain private payments are inevitable.
