What are agentic tokens for AI?

Agentic tokens are Visa's new breed, cryptographically tied to specific AI agents. They let bots spend without exposing your card details, with user-set limits.

How do AI agents pay with crypto via Nevermined?

Agents hit APIs, get a 402 response with payment instructions, pay stablecoins like USDC to the merchant's wallet, then access the resource. No human keys involved.

Is Nevermined's AI payment platform safe for UK devs?

Safer than hacks, with three-point validation. But agent glitches and hacks loom – test small, set tight rails.
