According to Odaily Planet Daily, Louis Amira, former Head of Crypto and AI Partnerships at Stripe, and David Noël-Romas, former Head of Crypto Engineering at Stripe, have secured $19.2 million in funding for their new startup, Circuit & Chisel, to develop the AI agent payment protocol ATXP. In addition to its Stripe background (and financial backing), Circuit & Chisel has also received investment from Primary Venture Partners, ParaFi, and Coinbase Ventures. Designed as the "HTTP for AI agent payments," ATXP aims to address the current lack of a standardized communication protocol between AI agents. Amira stated that if ATXP is successful, it will enable the micro-transaction space. (Fortune Magazine)
