Automatic payments sound impressive, but honestly, if AI agents can't remember transaction data, none of this makes much sense. That's why there are projects dedicated specifically to this.

Google's Agentic Payments protocol requires two pieces to work: one is the payment channel, and the other is data storage. Sui is responsible for handling the payment part. But what about the data? There's a project focused on this—building a complete data storage solution. Its token acts as AI's "external memory," allowing every transaction to be traced and verified, forming a reliable on-chain record.

Interestingly, this direction is expanding across multiple dimensions. Humanity Protocol is working on identity credential migration, bringing applications of "identity memory"; Team Liquid is storing esports match footage, which is an application of "content memory."

One protocol supports multiple layers of memory functions—sounds like the early form of on-chain infrastructure in the AI era. Looking ahead to 2026, the value of data will become even more prominent. At that time, whoever controls trustworthy data infrastructure may hold the key.
