Problem TessPay Solves
Addressing the high-risk boundary of autonomous payments.
AI agents can now perform economically meaningful work, but payments remain the highest-risk boundary in agentic systems. Existing payment infrastructure was designed for human-initiated transactions and breaks down under autonomous execution.
The core problems are:
Fragmented flows
Identity, authorization, execution, verification, and settlement exist as disconnected components with no unified, end-to-end payment flow.
Trust gap at settlement
Most systems assume successful execution and release funds optimistically, with no cryptographic proof that the agent actually performed the task as instructed.
Interoperability friction
Agents are locked inside siloed environments, making cross-ecosystem discovery, communication, and transactions unreliable or impossible.
Key exposure risk
Granting agents direct access to private keys creates an unacceptable attack surface for prompt injection, hallucinations, and execution errors.
These limitations prevent agentic commerce from scaling beyond low-stakes experimentation.
