What is Nanopayments?

Based on community signals so far, Nanopayments is a payment infrastructure designed for AI agents, enabling gas-free stablecoin transactions. It aims to solve the problem of high transaction costs and complexity when agents need to pay for services or resources autonomously. By removing gas fees, it makes microtransactions economically viable for agent-to-agent or agent-to-service interactions. The term is emerging in the context of agent economies, where autonomous agents require efficient, low-cost payment rails to operate at scale. While specific technical details are still limited, the concept aligns with the growing need for specialized financial infrastructure in AI agent ecosystems.
