SkyFire's Vision for the Financial Stack of the Future: Empowering AI Agents

The Pirate Pod

In this episode of the Pirate Pod, we sit down with Amir Sarhangi and Craig DeWitt from SkyFire, a payment network for AI agents to make autonomous transactions. The team sits down with Keli Callaghan as they announce their fundraise and what they plan to do as the main driver of a fundamental shift in how the internet and technology transacts. Having worked together previously (Ripple), Craig and Amir are well versed and knowledgeable in payments and talk at length about their new venture, SkyFire, which is building an entirely new category and envisions a world where transactions are initiated and executed by AI - not humans.
This podcast covers:
- Founders' stories of their journeys in Web3.
- Recent fundraise announcement.
- Current landscape (including the teams' estimated of a $46B market size) and why incumbents are unlikely to execute on this.
- Initial adoption, use cases and how quickly things will change.
- Developer enablement of the SkyFire network.
- Why Skyfire is going to be the Visa or Stripe for AI (ie, non human) transactions.
- What comes next, including how AI will be making requests to humans to do physical tasks.
