with a common “Know-Your-Agent” (KYA) framework. The initiative aims to streamline their onboarding across card networks, digital wallets, marketplaces and agent platforms while establishing clearer accountability. The companies will work to align their existing protocols through BuildFin.ai, an initiative convened by the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

Founder of Stack Chronicle and a journalist with experience across several local and national radio stations (including RTL2, Hit West, Euradio and Figaro Radio in France, and WDET in Detroit, Michigan), I began taking a deeper interest in technology in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. I quickly realised, that few media outlets were building meaningful connections between technology, AI, finance, politics and environmental issues. That observation led to the creation of Stack Chronicle: a publication designed to help both curious readers and more informed audiences understand the technological transformations shaping our world.
