After Rapid Beta Adoption, Skyfire Now Available to All with New Funding Methods, Expanded Enterprise Offerings, and Programmatic Agent/API Monetization
Skyfire, the world’s only payment network built for the AI Agent economy, announced its exit from Beta and the official rollout of its full-featured payments infrastructure, introducing a suite of powerful features designed to enable frictionless, autonomous transactions for AI-driven economies. With streamlined onboarding, programmatic wallets, advanced payment controls, and enterprise-grade capabilities, Skyfire is the de-facto standard for autonomous transactions across AI Agents, LLMs, data platforms, websites, service providers, and more.
“At Pricing Culture, we’re seeing a growth in demand for our data-driven insights from AI agents. Without Skyfire, there would not be a scalable way to accept and sell these insights to AI agents on-demand – a key new customer for us”

“It’s never been more clear that LLMs and Agents have one major roadblock that Skyfire solves immediately: access. Whether it’s access to websites, paywalls or paid services, the real opportunity is fully unlocked for all of these transformative technologies once you give Agents the ability to pay,” said Amir Sarhangi, CEO and co-founder of Skyfire. “AI agents are the new consumers of the internet and the key to the AI economy. Traditional payment rails were not built for that economy and struggle with the scale and speed required for AI. Skyfire bridges this gap, providing AI-driven businesses with a financial infrastructure that is global, programmable, and built for scale.”
New, private data sources are the next training and response data frontier. Nearly 80% of the world’s highest quality data sits behind firewalls and APIs. Skyfire is the monetization solution that can make this data accessible to all types of Agentic buyers in a way that is instantly usable and legitimately acquired, without the need for lengthy contracts negotiated through third party brokers.

During Skyfire’s Beta period, the company saw tremendous growth and traction, adding Pricing Culture, Bazaars, Zinc, and Linkup among others, to the Skyfire Payment Network, and enabling thousands of instant, global transactions daily. Between the growth in transaction volume, TPV, and agent signups, the company has completed its Beta program to officially launch the 1.0 platform.
Skyfire’s growth has been fueled by leading investors including a16z CSX, Coinbase Ventures, Neuberger Berman, Brevan Howard Digital, and others. The official rollout of Skyfire’s full-featured payments infrastructure marks a major step toward unlocking the projected $46 billion AI-to-AI commerce market over the next three years.
