FluxA: The Payment Infrastructure AI Agents Actually Need in 2026

| When AI agents became capable enough to complete real tasks autonomously, one problem emerged fast: they had no reliable way to pay for things. An agent that can browse, research, write, and execute workflows still hits a wall the moment it needs to purchase an API call, commission a sub-agent, or pay for compute. Traditional payment rails weren't designed for software. Credit cards require humans. Crypto transactions are too slow and gas-heavy for micro-transactions. FluxA was built to close this gap - a payment infrastructure layer purpose-built for the agent economy.
