The Agentic Payment Protocol Wars
The article discusses various agentic payment protocols, highlighting their functionalities and challenges. It emphasizes the fragmentation in the payment landscape and the complexities involved in integrating these protocols. The author shares insights from personal experience in developing an SDK that accommodates multiple protocols.
