Ampersend is featured on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) machine learning blog today, co-written with the Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Payments team. The post walks through how we built a pay-per-intelligence routing layer on top of AgentCore Payments. Agents call ampersend, select a model tier based on task complexity, and pay per request in USDC on Base through the x402 protocol. AgentCore handles wallet custody, payment signing, and session-level spend governance so the agent operates within deterministic limits it cannot override. The payment architecture follows a two-hop pattern. The agent pays ampersend via AgentCore Payments, and ampersend settles with the upstream model provider using the ampersend SDK. From the agent's perspective, it's a single integration point. Provider selection, routing, and the second settlement all happen behind the scenes. The full integration landed in under two weeks. Building equivalent wallet custody, signing infrastructure, and spending controls from scratch would have taken the team an estimated 3–4 months. Rodrigo Coelho, CEO of Edge & Node: "We built ampersend to be the control layer for agent payments. AgentCore Payments was a natural fit. Managed wallets, spending guardrails, and x402 settlement let us demonstrate fully autonomous agent-to-agent micropayments in a matter of days."

Rodrigo Coelho and Pranav Maheshwari are presenting at Microsoft's AI Engineer World's Fair 2026 in San Francisco next week. Rodrigo opens with the strategic case for programmable budget governance: why per-agent spend limits, real-time transaction visibility, and full audit trails are foundational requirements for any team running agents in production. He also covers Edge & Node's founding membership in the x402 Foundation and why open standards for agent-to-agent and agent-to-service payments matter at ecosystem scale. Pranav goes deep on the technical stack: onchain data from The Graph, Amp Enterprise for auditable datasets at scale, ampersend.ai wired into LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGPT, and custom-built systems, and x402 and A2A standards for interoperable agent payments, including a full end-to-end deployment demo. 📅 Day 4 / July 2, 2026 🏢 Agentic Commerce track / Room 2006 ⏰ 1:30pm–1:50pm

Tomorrow we sit down with Chainlink Labs and TRM Labs to talk governance for AI agents that transact on their own. Forward this to whoever owns compliance at your company, because the hour covers exactly what they keep asking about: enterprise exposure, the agentic threat landscape, cryptographic proof of execution, and controls that hold up in an audit. 🎤 Free webinar on agent payment governance 🗓️ June 18, 4PM UTC 📍 Live on X and YouTube 🔗 RSVP: luma.com/1xu0jgc3

When an autonomous agent initiates a payment, the liability still lands on a person. We're unpacking what that means for enterprises with Chainlink and TRM Labs: where exposure sits, which attack vectors are emerging, how verifiable execution works, and what policy enforcement requires at machine speed. Rodrigo Coelho from ampersend.ai, Rowland Graus from Chainlink Labs, and Alex Kopferschmitt from TRM Labs live on X and YouTube. 🎤 Free webinar on agent payment governance 🗓️ June 18, 4PM UTC 📍 Live on X and YouTube 🔗 RSVP: luma.com/1xu0jgc3

Meet speaker one for our June 18 webinar on governing software that spends real money: Rodrigo Coelho, CEO of Edge & Node, the team building ampersend. Rodrigo is a serial entrepreneur who joined The Graph as its first hire before taking the helm at Edge & Node. He bookends the hour: opening on enterprise risk and what a missing governance layer costs a CFO today, then closing with how ampersend enforces policy end to end, spending limits and identity through audit trails and cross-chain observability, demo included.

Compliance teams: do you know how to protect yourself from your agents? Come learn about agent payment risks, the ways agents can blow your budget, and learn how to deploy agents while preventing problems before they arise. 🎤 Free webinar on agent payment governance 🗓️ June 18, 4PM UTC 📍 Live on X and YouTube 🔗 RSVP: luma.com/1xu0jgc3

AI agents are moving real money onchain, still governed by approval flows built for people. We're hosting a free webinar with Rodrigo Coelho from ampersend.ai, Rowland Graus from Chainlink Labs, and Alex Kopferschmitt from TRM Labs on what compliance actually requires now that agents transact on their own. They'll get into: - Why the governance layer is missing and what enterprise risk looks like today. - The agentic threat surface: the new attack vectors and compliance failure modes TRM Labs is tracking. - Where verifiable execution fits and how Chainlink's ACE brings trust and auditability to agent workflows. - How ampersend enforces policy end to end: spending limits, identity, audit trails, cross-chain observability.

An agent with a wallet is an employee nobody onboarded, spending against a policy nobody wrote. We're hosting a free online session with Chainlink and TRM Labs: governance for software that transacts on its own, from the people building each layer of the answer. Rodrigo Coelho (Edge & Node) opens on enterprise risk: why the governance layer is missing and what that exposure means for a CFO or CCO right now. Alex Kopferschmitt (TRM Labs) maps the agentic threat surface, covering the attack vectors and compliance failures that appear once agents transact autonomously. Rowland Graus (Chainlink Labs) walks through verifiable execution and how ACE gives auditors cryptographic ground to stand on. We close on how ampersend enforces policy end to end: spending limits, identity, audit trails, and cross-chain observability, applied so a risk team can actually sign off. 🗓️ June 18, 4PM UTC 📍 Streaming live on X and YouTube 🔗 RSVP: luma.com/1xu0jgc3
