What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Track; not yet

Why
Historically real as a card network's first wallet-to-wallet P2P interoperability layer outside the card rails, and architecturally adjacent to TAP/ICC's later agent-payment identity work — but the exact flagship implementation (PayPal↔Venmo) that earned it notability was discontinued 2026-02-19, and what survives is a narrower Visa Direct bank-embedded alias feature (e.g. Nest Bank Poland) with no clear pattern worth building on directly today.
Next
Revisit only if Visa folds Visa+ Aliasing/Payname resolution formally into the Trusted Agent Protocol or Intelligent Commerce Connect address-resolution spec already tracked in the register; otherwise no action.
