I can simply say that t54 Labs is trying to start with the fundamentals to prepare for the arrival of the web4 narrative. Because currently web4 carries the format of Ai agents taking or executing every action, it means that Ai agents are more integrated demanding Ai who manage finances independently.

So what ? did project always get funding but Im noticing big name like XRP and Franklin Templeton there

But Im curious what the project trying to achieve is this some model for business to businnes or business to customer. Im still confused. I read that  It operates as a payment relay built on the XRP Ledger (XRPL), utilizing assets like XRP and RLUSD for settlement. But who use RLUSD is this for settlement only on the backend? so many question tbh
