About this event
AI agents are becoming capable of shopping, negotiating, making payments, and managing digital identities on our behalf. Yet despite their promise, a big problem remains: no one truly trusts them.
In this webinar, Marc Vanlerberghe, Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer at the Algorand Foundation, will explore the trust challenges that threaten to slow – or even derail – the future of agentic commerce. From agents that hold users' credentials to the growing risk of fraudulent merchant and shopping agents, today's AI ecosystem lacks the identity, accountability, and permissioning infrastructure needed for secure autonomous transactions.
Marc will examine why trust is the missing layer in agentic commerce and introduce AC2 (Agentic Communication and Control), Algorand's open protocol for verifiable agent identity, user-controlled permissions, and cryptographic provenance. Learn how decentralized identifiers (DIDs), wallet-based authorization, and open standards can enable both users and merchants to transact confidently while preserving security, accountability, and customer relationships
Whether you're building AI applications, digital commerce and payments platforms, identity infrastructure, or simply exploring the future of autonomous systems, this session offers a practical look at the technical foundations required to make agentic commerce trustworthy at scale.
