Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Proceed with caution

Why
Strongest longevity signal of the three (FIDO governance, 60-org donation, W3C VC mandates) and a production-ready crypto path with real on-chain volume, but card rails and liability/regulatory alignment are unfinished — guardrails required.
Next
Pilot the x402 stablecoin extension (USDC on Base/Solana) in a controlled domain; track FIDO v0.x spec changes and Verifiable Intent before wiring card-rail mandates.
