Skyfire, a payment network for the AI Agent economy, has officially launched its payment infrastructure, marking its exit from Beta.
The platform is designed to facilitate “autonomous transactions” for AI-driven economies.
It offers a suite of features that include streamlined onboarding, programmatic wallets, payment controls, and “enterprise-grade capabilities”.
The newly launched infrastructure is termed as “de-facto standard for autonomous transactions” involving AI Agents, large language models (LLMs), data platforms, websites and service providers.
With the introduction of programmatic wallets, AI agents and enterprises can set up wallets upon signup with various funding options such as credit/debit cards, ACH, wire transfers, and USDC on Base.
Organisations can create wallets, establish team-wide payment policies, and open new revenue streams by monetising agent interactions.
Skyfire’s infrastructure also includes features for programmatic monetisation for agents and APIs, allowing for monetisation through its no-code solution.
Additionally, payment rules for AI Agents can be set, providing granular spending controls for transactions, time periods, and service providers.
Developers can simulate agent transactions, interact with LLMs, and execute AI workflows with Skyfire Playground, a real-time testing environment .
During its Beta period, Skyfire added entities such as Pricing Culture, Bazaars, Zinc, and Linkup to the Skyfire Payment Network.
The growth in transaction volume, total payment volume (TPV), and agent signups has culminated in the official launch of the 1.0 platform.
Skyfire’s has been supported by investments from firms such as 16z CSX, Coinbase Ventures, Neuberger Berman, Brevan Howard Digital, and others.
Skyfire CEO and co-founder Amir Sarhangi said: “It’s never been more clear that LLMs and Agents have one major roadblock that Skyfire solves immediately: access. Whether it’s access to websites, paywalls or paid services, the real opportunity is fully unlocked for all of these transformative technologies once you give Agents the ability to pay.”
Skyfire co-founder Craig DeWitt stated: “AI has payment and identity requirements that are different from anything we’ve seen before. Skyfire’s infrastructure isn’t an upgrade, it’s an entirely new approach to how AI agents will access and pay for services.”
