New BSV standard BRC-181 lets humans cap AI agents' spending

  • —BRC-181 was approved as an official BSV standard in September
  • —Rules cover per-payment caps, period budgets, recipient lists and rate limits
  • —Adversarial audit produced 151 findings, three critical, all now fixed
  • —Agents can spawn child agents with smaller budgets under the parent's ceiling
Why it matters: The standard gives wallets a formal way to bound autonomous AI payments, limiting losses from prompt-injection attacks.
