Groq创始人：AI代理自主支付时代将至

Jonathan Ross wanted a few phone numbers so a bunch of his agents could join him on Signal and WhatsApp. Twilio kept asking him to prove he was human. His ideal fix: allocate a budget to the AI and let it spend on its own.

On @davidsenra's podcast, @GroqInc founder @JonathanRoss321 laid out why agent payments are about to take off. In this clip:

▷ AI is really good at using AI. That is what agentic means: one agent kicks off research jobs for another, and usage compounds exponentially

▷ When agents start making payments, payment volume skyrockets. The limiter today: "payments aren't really built for this yet." Micropayments change that

▷ His ideal setup: give the AI a budget, let it spend within that budget, and never think about it again

That last idea is exactly what Kite is building: the Kite Agent Passport gives every agent a verifiable identity and enforceable, user-defined budgets, and the high-frequency micropayments those agents generate settle onchain in stablecoins on Kite's own Layer 1. No more proving you are human. 🪁
