AI agents are moving from simply answering questions to taking actions: calling APIs, paying for resources, unlocking content, and coordinating work without a human clicking every button.
That shift creates a new kind of internet primitive: software that can hold a budget, make a decision, and spend tiny amounts of money when the task requires it.
I am exploring this space through SovRoute: agent payments, Bitcoin Lightning, micro-transactions, and machine-native commerce.
The interesting question is not only “can an agent pay?”
It is: what happens when payment becomes part of the software runtime itself?
