GoDaddy, Google, Cloudflare demo AI agent transaction system

GoDaddy, Google, Cloudflare, and Infoblox demonstrated an AI agent transaction system using existing internet standards. The Chain of Trust architecture, developed with Singapore’s IMDA, enables secure transactions across platforms. McKinsey estimates AI agents could facilitate $3T-$5T in global consumer purchases by 2030. The system was showcased at GovWare 2026, simulating a flight purchase with fraud prevention.
