When Cloudflare announced Cloudflare Wallets on August 4, 2026, it was easy to read it as just another payments product. It isn't. Taken together with the company's other recent moves, Wallets reveals a larger bet: that the web is turning into a marketplace run by machines, and whoever builds the plumbing for that marketplace first gets to shape how agentic commerce works.

One of the implications of this is that the complete history of transactions from the recent ones to the first entry is available for verification always. A complex cryptography protects all the data recorded in the distributed ledger and when you possess the key, you...
