Event summary

AMP reduces agent-to-wallet integration steps by 50% and supports nano-transactions as small as $0.000001 between AI agents.
The protocol includes a Know Your Agent (KYA) framework and dynamic risk-management tools for secure transactions.
Ant International collaborates with 40 digital wallet partners, including Alipay+, Mastercard, Visa, and Google.

The protocol aims to replace card-based systems with a mobile-native solution, positioning Ant International at the forefront of the agentic commerce market projected to reach $28 billion by 2030.
