Worth noting this is specifically for "A.I. agents". The problem listed in the article, is that the current web is supported by advertising. Ads mean nothing to the bot, and don't generate revenue for the website, and also outnumber human viewers by a huge amount, meaning a huge cost and revenue loss.
The aim of this technology is you would give your A.I. agent access to a "stablecoin wallet", and it would automatically pay for services it accesses when you ask it to do things. I've never used agents or stable coin so this is all meaningless to me. Hopefully someone else can chime in with what this would mean in practice for users of these technologies.
