@Vanarchain I was closing the month at 7:12 a.m., chai cooling beside my laptop, when my assistant proposed paying a contractor invoice “on my behalf.” I paused—if it misroutes funds, who owns the mistake?
Payments are trending as an AI primitive because agents are moving from suggestions to actions, and real money needs clear permission and proof. Google Cloud’s Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) is one concrete step: it uses signed “mandates” so an agent’s intent, the cart, and the final charge can be audited later.
Vanar’s PayFi view fits this shift: settlement shouldn’t be an afterthought. If stablecoins can settle value directly on-chain, the payment becomes part of the workflow, not a separate reconciliation exercise. What caught my eye was Vanar taking that idea to traditional rails—sharing the stage with Worldpay at Abu Dhabi Finance Week to discuss agentic payments in a room that actually deals with disputes and compliance.
