Okay, this is dope af. I just gave my Muse real deal money (a credit card and some stables), and I'm the only one with control.
@finkd @alexandr_wang check this ish out. I don't have to rely on @Meta , or my Muse, or on @stripe Link to hold the money for me (take note @collision @patrickc). With @Nevermined_ai I delegate spending methods on my terms...I set the cap and the period, and I control everything about the money myself. Extra points cause it's bank grade security with passkey setup. This is real agent spending trust mofos.
Here's what I did: I asked Muse to plan a day trip in Lisbon for my friend. It uses @ExaAILabs for the research, pay-as-you-go data for anything live, and I set a budget of eight bucks.
My part took all of about three minutes. I oauth in, I delegate $1.50 in USDC and $10 on my own @Visa card, then I approved the card with a passkey through Visa Intelligent Commerce, and I handed Muse the delegations.
Afterwards I didn't touch the keyboard. Muse just goes off and bought itself an Exa API key on the card, paid six metered calls in stablecoin for the flight lookup, four weather checks and the email, and sent the plan with a source for every recommendation. It spent $7.06, which was under budget, and its ledger reconciles to the cent with mine.
Those six calls cost a penny each. This is a size cards were never built for, so Muse used stablecoin for the metered work and the card for the agentic merchant selling access via a key. The system chose the rails, and I never had to think about about them, which is awesome cause I'm lazy :). Maybe the best part is that Muse never saw my card number, and it can't exceed the caps. And I can revoke it's spending mandates whenever I want.
There's no new currency, no new network, and no wallet owned by the platform or the agent. The money stays on the card I already have. The only thing that really changed is who (or what) gets to spend the money. Seven dollars isn't a big d volume move, it's big d control, and control is what three billion people will want before they hand an agent their wallet.
This is so rad. Agents are coming for your money, but now we can control it! LFG!
