The agentic economy is currently being designed through engineering decisions, not just future speculation. These early choices about how AI agents handle payments, identity, and participation will become difficult to change. The author argues that these critical decisions, which shape economic access and infrastructure, should be made in public and on record, rather than solely by large institutions prioritizing speed and existing business models.
