t54 Labs announced the completion of a $5 million seed round funding, co-led by Anagram, PL Capital, and Franklin Templeton, with participation from Ripple and other institutions. The funding will primarily support infrastructure for autonomous trading AI agents, including identity verification (“know your agent”), real-time risk control, compliance, and settlement integration. They also plan to provide credit lines to agents based on identity and risk scoring. Currently deployed on XRP Ledger, Solana, and Base, they’ve launched open-source components built on the Coinbase-incubated x402 payment protocol, called x402-secure.
