We brought agent-meter to the OpenClaw Global Unhackathon — a live metering backend, a real-time dashboard with four simulated agents, and three questions we couldn't stop talking about.

Agent-mediated e-commerce and agent-to-agent API commerce are fundamentally different transaction shapes. Stripe is optimizing for the first. The second needs different infrastructure entirely.

0.07% MCP penetration, 5x monthly acceleration, and most verticals wide open. The agent go-to-market window looks like SEO circa 2003 — organic discovery delivers outsized returns before saturation arrives.

Settlement proves money moved. Metering proves it should have. The real commerce stack is metering, then settlement, then receipts — and most agent commerce projects skip the first step.
