Position paper proposes micro-transaction markets for verified product information in agentic e-commerce

A preprint from arXiv argues that agent-native micro-payment rails (x402, AP2) shift the bottleneck in e-commerce from product matching to trustworthy information acquisition. The authors envision buyer agents spending fractions of a cent to progressively unlock verified seller and reviewer data under a freemium model with reputational trust scoring. The paper reframes the NLP research agenda for agentic commerce around cost-optimal information acquisition, data pricing, entity resolution, and privacy-preserving persona modelling rather than chat fluency.
