Crypto gateway uses AI-safe design to prevent fund drain

A crypto payment gateway called GriffNode has implemented an MCP server to allow AI agents to manage transactions without the risk of draining funds.

RANK_REASON The item describes a product feature and infrastructure implementation for an AI agent interacting with financial systems.
