Blue PayNote
Blue PayNote enables AI agents to make payments within precisely defined boundaries without requiring access to your actual payment credentials. Like handing your child $20 with specific instructions to buy only vegetables, PayNotes create bounded payment authorizations that both the agent and merchant can verify.
The Problem
AI agents can already search, negotiate, and fill shopping carts, but we don't want to hand them our card numbers, bank tokens, or crypto wallets. We need a way to delegate just enough payment power—no more, no less—while keeping humans (or higher-order agents) in control of value and risk.
