💳 AI agents necessitate AP2, a protocol ensuring secure, compliant transactions. AP2 validates agent authority via Mandates, cryptographically-signed contracts. For a winter jacket, agents monitor and execute purchases, while personalized offers include bundle discounts. Coordinated tasks, like booking a Palm Springs trip ($700 budget), are handled simultaneously. AP2 supports stablecoins, extending to crypto payments with the A2A x402 extension.
