They discuss the rise of agentic systems, the emergence of machine-to-machine commerce, and why settlement speed and scale suddenly matter in a way they didn’t before. From agentic payments and commerce protocols to the positioning of Supernova, the conversation centers on building future-proof infrastructure for a time where demand for it finally arises.

Not just about how it works. But about why it matters.
