Crossmint Launches Agentic Cards API for Secure AI Payments

Crossmint, a company specializing in crypto API development, has announced the launch of its Agentic Cards API. According to Foresight News, this API is built on Visa Intelligent Commerce and Basis Theory, aiming to enable AI agents to securely complete payments using Visa cards. The Agentic Cards API operates by encrypting the card number and CVC through Basis Theory after a user authorizes an eligible Visa card. A scope token is then returned, allowing AI agents to interact only with the token rather than the original card details. Developers can integrate this API directly into their platforms or experience it through Crossmint's payment product, Lobster.cash, which already supports AI agents like Claude, OpenClaw, Hermes, and Zo Computer.
