Vendor profile, agent-pay builder
Catena
In short
Catena gives each AI agent its own identity and account, and its governance layer lets a transaction run only inside fixed spending policies, whether paid by card, ACH, wire or stablecoin. Its example is a payroll agent paying contractors worldwide. The homepage names no ACP, UCP or x402 support and lists no price.
