TechFlow News, February 26: According to The Block, t54 Labs—a San Francisco-based AI agent company—has closed a $5 million seed funding round co-led by Anagram, PL Capital, and Franklin Templeton, with participation from Ripple, Virtuals Ventures, Blockchain Coinvestors, and ABCDE. Founded in January 2025, the company is building identity, verification, and compliance tools for AI agents capable of autonomously executing transactions on behalf of individuals and enterprises.
The t54 Labs platform comprises four core components: authentication, real-time risk systems, credit services, and an integrated management system. The platform is currently live across multiple blockchain networks—including the XRP Ledger, Solana, and Base—and has developed x402-secure, an open-source trust layer built for the x402 agent payment protocol incubated by Coinbase. Last month, t54 also announced a partnership with Evernorth, a digital asset treasury firm backed by Ripple.
