Stripe is building the financial rails for agents, but rails need guardrails. Most agents today are still authenticated with static API keys and shared credentials built for humans. As agents begin to transact autonomously on behalf of users, the identity layer needs to keep pace. In this session, Clerk CEO Colin Sidoti explores what agent-native authentication looks like: how delegated identity and scoped permissions need to evolve, so agents can act securely without inheriting human credential models.
