Our Co-Founder & CEO @ChiZhangData takes the AGI Stage for "When AI Agents Go to Work: Building, Trusting & Scaling Autonomous AI."
🗓️ Saturday, July 18, 5:35-6:05
The next phase of AI is defined by execution: agents that act, transact, and operate on your behalf. Before that shift can scale, every agent must be verifiably authorized, bounded by enforceable spend limits, and subject to human control.

From a multi-agent system surpassing human grandmasters to terrorist groups weaponizing AI chatbots, the last two weeks highlight agentic AI is reshaping both competition and security landscapes.

Transaction history now shows routing analytics,
3️⃣ Settlement on Base
Kite Passport now supports settlement on Base. Direct-pay and cross-chain routing handle settlement directly, replacing the treasury relay path.
As part of enabling Base support, USDC held by mainnet agent wallets was bridged 1:1 to each wallet's
A company of two people and 10,000 AI agents. That might be what founding a startup looks like from here.

The rails for global money movement are consolidating. The agents that will soon run on top of them still have to answer one question: who authorized this, and within what limits?

The Avalanche Payments Collective brings together the infrastructure moving money globally across 150+ countries.
The companies building here today will define the next generation of payments.
And it’s all happening on Avalanche.
