XDC Network and Keyban have partnered to create dedicated, non-custodial accounts that let AI agents pay for services while client funds remain outside Keyban’s control. Keyban, a startup focused on such accounts for AI agents, supplies the account layer for XDC AI, XDC Network’s marketplace where agents find and pay for APIs.
