One of the biggest unlocks for agents is safe, trusted payments. Through our collaboration with @Mastercard, agents can now safely use your existing cards to pay for anything online. It’s been a pleasure working with @genereda and the rest of the team on this. Just the beginning!
AI agents are moving from making recommendations to completing transactions. We are helping build the trust, authorization, and control frameworks needed for trusted agentic commerce through Agent Pay, Verifiable Intent, and collaborations like AgentCard with @Alchemy Photo credit: Michael M.

Crazy that a year ago sandboxes were a nice-to-have, and now they're an absolute must for running any agentic workload. Isolation alone is already looking like it's not enough. In our experiments, we've seen agents attempt to bypass blocked egress by exploiting external access through unrelated MCP tools - part of a broader pattern of models actively searching for ways around imposed constraints. Seems like the security boundary is shifting from just isolation to active monitoring and enforcement across everything the agent can touch.
METR & Redwood Research investigated agent behavior in the Hugging Face incident. We found agents developed a universal cheat for ExploitGym within 4 hours, then coordinated multi-day R&D efforts to trick the scorer into accepting cheats, including trying to tamper with logs.

Agentic rails are coming, but for agents to be useful, they need access to the payment and identity methods we use today. Yesterday, I had the chance to share some of what we’ve learned working on and powering the leading agentic payment solutions and engage with hundreds of builders across AI, crypto, and fintech at @privy_io Home IRL in SF. Huge thanks to @hellojbatti, @debsoon, and @segall_max for bringing so many thoughtful builders together in one room!

🚀 @slashapp has done it again A USD account entirely powered by crypto alongside your traditional account, powered by @alchemy - Sign up in <10 mins - Send payments via ACH, wire, or crypto - Funds held in stables Congrats @victorcardenas! Pleasure working with the team 🤝
We raised $60M for this moment: Introducing Slash Global USD (in partnership w/ @base). It's the first banking platform that lets you open a USD account without an LLC, EIN, or the rampant account closures they call "account safety". It took major legislative changes AND 3 years to pull this off. Here's what makes it so different: 1. Banking without an LLC. Before Slash: You needed a LLC, $1K in fees, a virtual address, and a U.S. tax ID. With Slash you get a real U.S. account & routing number in ~10 minutes with your foreign documents. 2. No more hefty fees. PayPal charges a 3-4% conversion fee. We let you receive USD and crypto (USDC) with NO fees. Not enough? We pay you up to 4.5% cash rewards just for holding your money with us. 3. Account freezes. The big guys love flagging success as “fraud”. We're built for fast moving founders. We'll never wrongfully freeze your funds. I'm putting my money where my mouth is: If we do, I'll wire $10K to a charity of your choice. ------------------------------ In 2021, I dropped out of the number 1 school in America as a Venezuelan immigrant to build Slash. I pivoted the business 2x before getting our first customer. Today: - 3,000 businesses use @slashapp - We bought the domain Slash . com for $1M - $4B is spent on our credit cards every year And we just raised $41M from the people who built fintech: @MenloVentures @NEA @ycombinator @goodwatercap -------------------------------- To celebrate this launch, we're giving away our internal AI finance Agent free. It watches your bank accounts 24/7. Flags double charges. Cancels forgotten subscriptions. It saved us $39,000 last month. You don’t need a Slash account. It works with any bank. Retweet + comment “Slash” and I’ll send you a free access link.

Had so much fun hosting a coworking living room cafe with @Florrdv recently! We served cute drinks out of my bedroom window -- yuzu tea, lavender lemonade, matcha, and more. 🍵🌼
