Thinking on
agentic finance

Before we ask anyone to trust their agents' finances to Proco, we're running Proco on Proco. Here's what we've learned from routing real operational capital through our own infrastructure.

Proprietary agent finance creates the same problems as proprietary internet infrastructure did in the 1990s. Open standards are the only viable path.

x402 makes any HTTP resource payable without new infrastructure. A developer walkthrough of implementation on both sides — and why it matters beyond micropayments.

A payment policy engine is what makes agent finance safe. Here's how to design one that enforces the right constraints — and where to enforce them.

Circle's IPO wasn't just a milestone for the company — it was a confirmation event for the entire stablecoin and agentic finance ecosystem.

Two technology waves — AI agents and stablecoin infrastructure — are reaching maturity simultaneously. Here's why their intersection is the biggest opportunity of the next five years.

Non-custodial isn't just a crypto principle — it's the right design for AI agent finance. Here's why the alternative creates risks enterprises can't afford.

Two architectures are emerging for agent financial infrastructure: open non-custodial protocols vs closed custodial platforms. The difference matters more than you think.

Moving from simulated payments to real transactions is significant. Here's the six-point checklist before your agent touches real money.

The GENIUS Act created regulatory clarity for stablecoins in the US. Here's what it actually changes for developers — and what it still leaves open.

Two serious payment protocols have emerged for AI agents: x402 from Coinbase and AP2 from Google. Here's how they differ and when to use each.

A practical breakdown of every layer in the agentic finance stack — wallets, protocols, identity, policy engines, and treasury.

KYC is built for humans. As AI agents become economic actors, we need a new compliance primitive: KYA — Know Your Agent.

Stablecoins aren't just crypto with less volatility. For AI agents transacting at machine scale, they're the only payment primitive that actually works.

There's a hard line between an AI that automates your payments and an AI with genuine financial autonomy. Here's where it is and why it matters.

AI agents are transacting at machine speed and sub-cent scale. Here's why every piece of existing financial infrastructure fails them — and what needs to replace it.

When AI agents can pay each other directly — without human intermediaries — entirely new economic models become possible.

A step-by-step guide to wiring up a LangChain agent with a Proco wallet so it can pay for APIs, tools, and services autonomously.

Using your own wallet for your agent's payments is a security anti-pattern. Here's the right architecture — and why it matters at scale.

HTTP 402 has been reserved since 1997. Coinbase, Google, Anthropic, and others are finally making it real — and it changes how agents pay for everything.
