Circuit & Chisel, a startup co-founded by former Stripe executives, has secured $19.2 million to launch ATXP, a protocol for agentic payments. This innovative solution aims to create the essential infrastructure for AI agents to navigate the internet and execute transactions autonomously, a critical component for the future of agentic commerce.
The ATXP protocol is designed to minimize friction in AI-driven online shopping and bill payments, enabling agents to interact reliably with e-commerce platforms and payment systems. With strategic investments from Stripe, Polygon Labs, and Samsung Next, Circuit & Chisel is positioned to establish a standard for how AI agents will manage financial activities in an increasingly automated digital economy.
