What to expect from an ideal product

  1. Embed payment requests directly into HTTP API calls so machines can pay for services instantly without human intervention
  2. Remove the need for traditional payment processors or banks by using a direct protocol that handles transactions between devices
  3. Set up automatic per-request billing that charges machines only for what they actually use, eliminating upfront contracts or trust requirements
  4. Enable real-time micropayments where machines can pay tiny amounts for each API call or data request as it happens
  5. Create a standard payment method that works across different systems so any machine can pay any other machine without custom integration work
