CZ's thesis: AI agents will outpace human payment volume by 1,000,000x and default to crypto rails.
MEFAI just benchmarked BNB Chain:
• $0.0012 per USDT payment
• 0.45s settlement time
• 853 payments per $1 in fees
• ~452M daily payment capacity at current gas limits
The infrastructure bottleneck isn't bandwidth anymore—it's adoption. BNB Chain can theoretically handle half a billion microtransactions daily right now. If agent-to-agent commerce scales as predicted, these rails are already 10x cheaper and faster than traditional payment processors. The real question: will agents coordinate on $BNB, or fragment across L2s and alt chains?
