AI agents are getting closer to handling things on their own. Not just generating outputs, but making decisions, talking to other agents, and moving value without waiting for a human to double-check everything. That’s the challenge @LazAiNetwork and @MetisL2 explored in LazTalks #6. A full panel of builders from payments, L2 infra, AGI, and agent tooling came together to answer one big question: “When agents start paying each other, who sets the rules?” Here’s a few points discussed that stood out: 🔸Payments need to stay provable and private at the same time. 🔸Responsibility can’t sit in one place. Users give intent, operators manage risk, networks make the final settlement real. 🔸Authorization matters more than exposing identity. Not every payment needs to reveal who’s behind it. 🔸The ecosystem works best when the rails are open, but still safe enough to handle real-world edge cases. The message was simple: Agent-to-agent payments are becoming the backbone of the machine economy. The decisions made now will shape whether that economy stays open, fair, and aligned with the people using it. LazAI is pushing for that future, and Metis provides the settlement layer that makes it possible
