Circle and @proof are teaming up to investigate an exciting new capability. Together, we are researching how automated agents can verify the identity of the person they represent and seamlessly complete USDC payments during a single interaction.

This process relies on x401 to handle identity confirmation. At the same time, the USDC payment functions are powered by x402 in conjunction with Circle Agent Wallets.

We invite you to experience this technology in person. Stop by booth 5069 at @money2020 to watch our collaborative presentation.
