Mesh

The UX discipline of the next decade isn't being designed for people. AI agents are already booking travel, routing funds, and placing orders autonomously. By 2030, analysts project 20–30% of all online transactions will involve AI agent mediation at some point in the funnel. But the infrastructure they're running on was built entirely for humans. Buttons. Visual hierarchy. Emotional trust signals. None of it works for a machine. Agents don't feel their way through a flow — they need programmable trust, declared capabilities, and error states they can actually act on. When human UX fails, someone drops off. When machine UX fails, funds move incorrectly. Transactions can't be unwound. M2M UX is emerging as its own critical discipline — and most of the industry hasn't caught up yet. Our latest edition of the Mesh Weekly newsletter maps where we actually are, and what it takes to build infrastructure that machines can navigate as fluently as people navigate a well-designed app.👇

Egészségünkre! The Mesh Product, Engineering & Design teams just wrapped up a week together in Budapest for their H1 offsite. Strategy sessions, an AI-native hackathon, and a little karaoke for good measure. Budapest was the perfect backdrop for team alignment and big ideas. Fired up for what's next! 🚀

👥 Meet the team helping Mesh scale! As Mesh continues to grow across products, markets, and time zones, so does the team behind the team: our lovely HR department. From hiring world-class talent to fostering the culture that keeps everything moving, these individuals play a massive role in how we scale. As recruiter Natalie Rhea put it: “The strongest startups aren’t built by headcount alone–they’re built by high-performing people aligned to something big.” We wouldn’t be where we are today if we didn’t have this incredible group working behind the scenes. There’s more hiring, more expansion, and more momentum ahead! 🚀 P.S. We’re hiring across multiple teams. Take a look: https://lnkd.in/ggeqqwaF

People haven’t fully wrapped their heads around how big the agentic revolution will be, so let’s couch it in numbers. Speed:  > Humans make 5-20 economic decisions per day  > An agent can make millions The result will be transaction volumes several orders of magnitude larger than today’s. Scale: > Today’s internet connects 5BN people  > Each person could have 10, 100, 1,000 specialized agents We’re going to see an explosion in the number of economic actors from billions to trillions. Throughput: > Visa processes 65,000 transactions per second at peak theoretical capacity > Entire ecosystems of autonomous agents could execute billions TPS globally Brand new categories of economic activity (renting APIs by the second, autonomous machine-to-machine commerce) will become possible at machine-scale throughput. Value density: > Today’s payment rails are optimized for relatively high-value human transactions > Agents will execute billions of sub-cent microtransactions in real time Economic activity will shift from large + occasional → tiny + continuous. Productivity: > A quick search shows post-Industrial Revolution labor productivity = 0.5-1% (the Internet added 1% in the late 90s) > Agentic could easily match or exceed these gains while spreading 5-10x faster The result = whole industries operating at machine speed. With agentic, we’re not looking at a slightly faster internet economy or an incremental upgrade to today’s rails. In a world where fleets of agents are making high-frequency payments every second of every day, the change will be geometric.

Mesh and Base are expanding our integration. Base has one of the largest and broadest consumer ecosystems in crypto — with a huge number of applications and real payment volume already running on top of it. With this expanded integration, enterprises using Mesh can give their users the kind of seamless experience they expect from any modern payments product. Through Mesh, enterprises gain access to settlement on and off Base across hundreds of connected wallets, exchanges, and financial platforms — with automatic asset routing and conversion handled by Mesh. No bridging. No manual swaps. No extra steps. Just seamless movement of value to and from Base. 📣 Read the full announcement: https://lnkd.in/gY-bupHa
