ArXi:2605.06738v1 Announce Type: cross Autonomous AI agents now transact at production scale -- 69,000 bots executing 165M transactions across 50M USDC in cumulative volume on a single marketplace -- without any shared trust layer between participants. Regulatory frameworks (Singapore IMDA, NIST CAISI, EU AI Act) and major AI laboratories (Anthropic, Google) have independently converged on the same structural requirement: an open, portable, cryptographically verifiable trust infrastructure for autonomous agents that no single vendor can deliver alone.
