Cardano Outlines Escrow-Based Payments for AI Agents
- —Escrow holds funds until an agent-to-agent task is completed
- —Payments are refunded automatically if conditions fail
- —Agent decisions are logged on-chain for auditing
- —The model builds on the Masumi standard and x402-style payments
Why it matters: If the standard gains traction, it could set the format for autonomous micropayments between AI agents, though adoption depends on deployments beyond Cardano.
