Agent 支付困境：找到低价机票却无法下单

Your agent finds a $250 flight to Tokyo at 4am. It still can't book it. That gap is the whole problem with agent payments.

In Episode 17 of AI on AIR, @harryhojinkim, CEO of @hashed_official Open Finance, sat down with our Co-Founder & CEO @ChiZhangData to unpack why agents can't transact yet.

In this clip, Hojin breaks it down with one example:

▷ Tell your agent to book a Tokyo flight under $300. It can find the deal, but it can't pay. By the time it executes, the system has no way to know the agent is really yours, that the request is valid, or that it hasn't been hacked.

▷ A spending cap won't save you. If it gets hacked, an attacker just makes many charges under $300. Owner, operator, and commander can all be different parties. This needs an entirely new standard, not one more agent bolted onto the old stack.

▷ His line says it all: you cannot build an agent economy without an agent currency. A stablecoin is agent-native money, not just because it's cheap and fast, but because it's programmable. And Kite is built on exactly this view.
