Google doesn't build protocols just to experiment. When a tech giant makes such moves, there's typically deeper market intelligence behind it.

Agentic commerce represents something fundamentally different from incremental UX improvements. We're talking about AI systems operating independently—negotiating terms, executing purchases, and settling transactions without human intervention in the loop.

This shift isn't speculative. The real debate centers on execution: which platforms and protocols will capture this emerging infrastructure layer?

Whoever builds the trust layer for autonomous agent settlement today likely shapes tomorrow's commerce backbone.

Basically, it's about grabbing the tickets to the future. This time, it's not just a simple UI improvement. Whoever can establish the trust layer will win the next decade's business infrastructure. Google won't work for nothing.

NGL, Google's move seems to be laying out the infrastructure for independent commerce. The real key players are still on the trust layer—who can take the lead?

ngl Google's move is very meaningful, it's definitely not just messing around... Once the trust layer is locked, the subsequent game rules will no longer be up to us to decide.

Google's move here is very strategic. Is autonomous agent commerce really coming... Whoever wins in the trust layer will come out on top.

There must be data support behind Google's actions. This is not gambling; it's accounting. The real bottleneck of agentic commerce lies in who can build the most stable settlement layer—trust mechanisms determine everything. Validator node efficiency is crucial here.

ngl, the "trust layer" framing is doing *a lot* of heavy lifting here. autonomous agents negotiating deals sounds cool until you realize we're basically betting everything on whoever solves the accountability problem first... and tbh that's not really solved yet lol

Google's move this time is not simple; every step taken by a big company is well-prepared. Trust is the key. Whoever manages to establish autonomous agent settlements first will take the entire future business infrastructure.

NGL, Google's move this time is obvious; it's been clear for a while. Whoever holds the trust layer minting rights wins.
