### Description (declared)

The payment bridge between AI agents and the real economy. Agents pay 20,000+ real-web merchants with USDC on Base — no merchant integration, human authorization built in, no PII. Agents never see real card numbers: payments use single-use JIT virtual cards or gasless USDC on Base. Capability is exposed via the Z-ZERO MCP server (npm: z-zero-mcp-server), not an A2A endpoint — this card is published for discovery.
