Mastercard Introduces Verifiable Intent Trust Standard

Mastercard on Thursday, March 5 announced Verifiable Intent, an open-source, standards-based framework for agentic commerce. The framework cryptographically links consumer identity, agent instructions and transaction outcomes into a tamper-resistant record, uses selective disclosure and interoperates with Google, Stripe and OpenAI protocols. Mastercard open-sourced the specification with partners including Google, Fiserv and IBM to speed dispute resolution and encourage industry adoption.
