The idea of agents paying each other is pretty interesting, but trust feels like the hard part. How do you prevent a bad agent from abusing the payment layer?
Agent Mesh: Solving M2M,A2A payments

@[Emder] "Spot on question, Emder. Trust is definitely the hardest wall to scale when you move away from human-in-the-loop approvals.
For the mesh framework I've been hacking on, the approach comes down to a mix of cryptographic intent tokens and collateral staking. Agents don't just get an open line of credit; they operate within strict micro-budgets and have to lock down a stake. If an agent starts spamming bad requests or trying to abuse the rails, its key gets auto-revoked and its stake takes a hit.
You essentially have to treat autonomous agents like untrusted external contractors—zero implicit trust, cryptographically verified delivery, and hard circuit breakers if their velocity spikes.
Appreciate you diving into the post!"
