Overview
- World Liberty Financial released the open-source, self-custodial AgentPay SDK to let AI agents hold funds and execute transactions on EVM-compatible chains under predefined policy rules.
- Transactions pass balance checks and policy evaluation before execution, high-value actions pause for human approval, and private keys remain local rather than being shared with agents.
- The toolkit runs on the user’s machine with a CLI, local signing daemon, policy engine, and a skill pack that installs into popular coding agents, with USD1 pre-configured on Ethereum and BSC plus native Bitrefill commerce.
- WLFI outlined a roadmap that includes gasless meta-transactions via EIP-3009, expanded cross-chain support, a plugin ecosystem, a policy-aware interface proposal, and a security white paper.
- The launch drew social promotion from Donald Trump Jr. and was framed within a broader push toward agentic payments that also references Coinbase’s protocol work, with reporting citing USD1’s market cap at roughly $4.5 billion.
