Programmable Wallets Crucial for Enterprise AI Payments

As AI agents increasingly operate inside enterprises, spending money autonomously on tasks like ad campaigns and API calls, traditional payment methods are struggling to keep pace.

Existing payment infrastructure, such as corporate cards and bank transfers, falls short in several ways. Cards assume human-driven, low-frequency transactions and lack the programmable controls needed for AI use cases. Bank transfers offer richer controls but are too slow and operationally cumbersome to integrate into real-time agent workflows.

Programmable wallet layers address this gap by embedding smart contract logic and programmable controls into wallets, enabling AI agents to transact autonomously while maintaining compliance and oversight.
