Hedera Advocates for Machine-Readable Data in Agentic Commerce

Lindsay Walker of Hedera advocated for machine-readable data in agentic commerce at the AIconference, highlighting systems that are fast, publicly verifiable and programmable.

Other companies are developing tools and standards for AI agents to interact with commerce. American Express’ work includes a common standards effort with EMVCo and the x402 Foundation and a framework for carrying authenticated purchase instructions through payment processing.

Shopify’s checkout tools for AI agents let them work directly with checkout information.
