Why is nobody talking about this?!
Yesterday, Mastercard revealed that they are partnering with Google to create “Verifiable Intent” which advances agentic commerce (including the use of x402):
• AI agents acting autonomously on purchases creates a new problem: no visible moment of human confirmation like tapping a card
• Mastercard + Google have co-developed Verifiable Intent; a cryptographic, tamper-resistant record linking consumer identity, their instructions, and the resulting transaction
• All parties (consumer, merchant, issuer) can verify what was authorized; disputes have a clear audit trail instead of guesswork
• Uses Selective Disclosure; only minimum necessary data shared, only when needed; privacy-preserving by design
• Built on open standards (FIDO, EMVCo, IETF, W3C); protocol-agnostic and designed to work across wallets, platforms, and payment networks
• Spec is being open-sourced at verifiableintent-dev; integration into Mastercard Agent Pay APIs coming soon
• Partners on board: Adyen, Fiserv, Worldpay, IBM, Checkout-com, Basis Theory
This is my favourite part:
• It complements x402; Mastercard is staking out the authorization/identity layer of agentic commerce; x402 handles payment execution; together they sketch out the emerging agentic payments stack
X402 is fast becoming THE missing agentic payments ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​link to enable trillions of micropayments across billions of agents
If you’re wanting more information on x402 (the internet payment standard that’s been missing for 30 years!) follow @KhalaResearch - we have an in depth article going live in the next week!
