Agent Vault users have shared excellent examples of how they’ve used the product in their everyday life, letting their agent log in and check out on their behalf without worrying about losing control of their credentials. Keep reading for some of our favorite examples so far. ↓

My agent just pitched me a costume idea for Halloween...
Self Labs CEO @RegenRene reveals how his team got AI agents buying products on Amazon despite its restrictions on agent purchases: "There was this big story of Amazon blocking agent purchases. We actually got it to work through Agent Vault. We haven’t publicly talked about it because it’s not been reliably working, sometimes it gets caught. But in the beta we’ve had some success doing agent purchases." "For Halloween I decided to dress up as Andre Agassi from the 1990 French Open. My agents came back with nine different things across nine different sites. I had my agent, through Agent Vault, purchase all of them, and it just worked." "Using my credit cards on all the different sites, asking me every time before making the final purchase, and then boom." @selfxyz

How checkout works with Agent Vault: 1️⃣ Your agent gets a mock token instead of your real card number 2️⃣ In a Trusted Execution Environment, the real number is swapped in. The agent never sees it 3️⃣ The store sees an ordinary card transaction, and your purchase is complete

It's great to see CELOccelerate go according to plan 😈
Celo is the #1 L2 by daily active users, #5 of all chains across crypto (sources: @growthepie_eth, @tokenterminal) How does this impact $CELO holders? 450K+ users drive nearly 1M txns daily. Fees they pay flow back to holders as net sequencer revenue through the Community Fund
