# Stripe Projects

## Profile
Stripe Projects is a recently launched product from Stripe that serves as foundational infrastructure for [[concept-layer-5-trust]] (Trust, Provisioning & Billing). It allows agents to use **CLI commands** to securely provision resources and execute financial transactions **without exposing raw credit card details** — payment credentials are tokenized and scoped specifically for agent use. Canonical site: stripe.com/projects.

## Why it matters
Stripe Projects is the speaker's pick for the **first credible primitive in Layer 5**. Before this, agents needed humans in the loop to click through checkout flows or to provision new infrastructure. Stripe Projects makes that programmatic and safe.

## What's still missing on top of it
Full [[concept-agent-finops]] — metered billing per agent, dynamic budget allocation (e.g., $50 autonomous, more requires sign-off), cost-per-successful-task observability. Stripe Projects is the foundation; the broader FinOps tooling is the growth area. See [[action-plan-for-agent-finops]].
