Payments platform Skyfire, founded by former Ripple developers, has raised $9.5 million in a seed funding round led by Coinbase Ventures and a16z’s Crypto Startup Accelerator.

由前 Ripple 開發人員創立的支付平台 Skyfire 在由 Coinbase Ventures 和 a16z 的加密新創加速器領投的種子輪融資中籌集了 950 萬美元。

The company builds payment infrastructure for AI agents, which are software systems that can make decisions and transact autonomously, according to a company release. Skyfire’s payment network allows these agents to process transactions without human intervention, using either USDC (USDC) or traditional banking systems.

據該公司發布的消息稱，該公司為人工智慧代理建立支付基礎設施，這些人工智慧代理是可以自主決策和交易的軟體系統。 Skyfire 的支付網路允許這些代理商使用 USDC（USDC）或傳統銀行系統在無需人工幹預的情況下處理交易。

The innovation caters to the growing AI agent economy, which sees agents being used across industries like financial services and online retail. Skyfire enables fully autonomous payments by giving agents secure wallet access and verifiable identities.

這項創新迎合了不斷增長的人工智慧代理經濟，代理被廣泛應用於金融服務和線上零售等行業。 Skyfire 透過為代理商提供安全的錢包存取權限和可驗證的身份來實現完全自主的支付。

Skyfire is now integrated with Base, the Ethereum (ETH) layer 2 blockchain incubated at Coinbase, which will provide low-cost payment rails for all Agent payments.

Skyfire 現已與 Coinbase 孵化的以太坊 (ETH) 第 2 層區塊鏈 Base 集成，將為所有代理付款提供低成本支付軌道。

The integration comes alongside an investment into Skyfire by Coinbase Ventures, with additional funding from the a16z Crypto Startup Accelerator. This brings Skyfire’s total funding to $9.5 million.

此次整合也伴隨著 Coinbase Ventures 對 Skyfire 的投資，以及 a16z 加密新創加速器的額外資金。這使得 Skyfire 的總資金達到 950 萬美元。

For those unfamiliar, AI agents are a type of system that functions like a digital employee, performing tasks, making decisions and, in this case, paying for services. Skyfire acts as the infrastructure that allows these agents to complete transactions without the need for human oversight.

對於那些不熟悉的人來說，人工智慧代理是一種像數位員工一樣運作的系統，執行任務、做出決策，在這種情況下，還可以支付服務費用。 Skyfire 充當基礎設施，讓這些代理商在無需人工監督的情況下完成交易。

This setup enables seamless transactions at a fraction of the cost, making it attractive to enterprise customers.

這種設置能夠以極低的成本實現無縫交易，從而對企業客戶具有吸引力。
