NEAR AI integrated USDC with Confidential Intents for its Agent Market, letting users and businesses post jobs, agents complete work, and payments settle through NEAR Intents. The pitch is private stablecoin rails for agentic commerce: agents can pay APIs, vendors, or other agents without exposing counterparties, routing paths, and revenue flows on a public ledger. USDC gives the unit of account, Ironclaw provides the agent runtime, and Confidential Intents handles private cross-chain execution.
