Press Release

HENDERSON, NV. — June 5, 2026 — EVIO, Inc. (OTC: EVIO) (the "Company" or "EVIO") today outlined its strategic focus on the emerging Agent Economy, the rapidly forming commercial ecosystem in which autonomous AI agents act as buyers, decision-makers, and economic counterparties on behalf of their human principals, and disclosed its intention to incorporate Stripe's Link Agent Wallet, unveiled at Stripe Sessions 2026 on April 29, 2026, into its agent-facing payments and infrastructure roadmap.

The Agent Economy describes a structural shift in which large-language-model-driven agents complete commerce workflows (discovery, comparison, negotiation, purchase, post-sale management, and reconciliation) with limited or no real-time human intervention. EVIO believes this shift creates a new class of customer (the agent itself), a new class of merchant interface (machine-readable, intent-aware, and credential-bound), and a new class of infrastructure requirement: verifiable identity, scoped delegation of authority, programmatic payment, and audit-grade settlement records. The Company is positioning its public-company platform to develop and acquire the data, identity, and decision-support primitives that allow autonomous agents to transact reliably, auditably, and at scale.

On its agent-customer thesis specifically, the Company believes that AI agents are evolving from research tools into transacting parties, and that the next several years will see commercial agents requiring their own commercial identities, scoped funding sources, persistent merchant relationships, and machine-readable terms of trade. EVIO intends to build, partner, and integrate against this thesis through its public-company platform.

Stripe's Link Agent Wallet as an Enabling Rail for the Agent Economy

At Sessions 2026 on April 29, 2026, Stripe unveiled the Link Agent Wallet, an extension of its consumer Link wallet that lets users delegate spending to AI agents through real-time approvals, one-time-use cards, and scoped payment tokens. In Stripe's own framing, "people can enable their agents to make payments with Link on their behalf," while "real payment details are never exposed to the agent" because "a one-time-use card is issued per task" and the human principal approves each payment. Stripe positions the launch as part of a broader push to "empower agents as economic actors," and has publicly stated its expectation that, "in the not-too-distant future, agents will account for most transactions online." Supported clients at launch include Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI agents, and the merchant lineup spans brands such as Coach, Kate Spade, URBN, Revolve, Ashley Furniture, and the Etsy commerce platform.

EVIO views the Link Agent Wallet launch as a meaningful market validation of the agent-as-customer thesis and as a foundational rail on which a new generation of agent-economy products can be built. The combination of scoped, revocable credentials, full purchase visibility, and reach across Stripe's existing merchant network materially lowers the technical and trust barriers that have, to date, kept autonomous agents from transacting at scale.

As part of its product roadmap, EVIO intends to evaluate and integrate the Link Agent Wallet, along with complementary primitives from Stripe's broader Sessions 2026 announcements, including its Machine Payments Protocol (MPP) for programmatic agent-to-business transactions, into its agent-facing payment workflows. The Company believes this approach materially reduces the friction of standing up agent-mediated commerce versus building a closed-loop payments stack from the ground up, and accelerates the timeline on which EVIO's identity, decision-support, and reconciliation surfaces can be brought to market.

EVIO has no commercial agreement, partnership, or affiliation with Stripe, Inc. References to Stripe, the Link Agent Wallet, and the Machine Payments Protocol in this release reflect publicly disclosed product information from Stripe's Sessions 2026 announcements and the Company's forward-looking intention to evaluate and integrate compatible third-party rails into its own product roadmap.

Statement from the Company

The official statement from the Company reads:

"Stripe's Link Agent Wallet, along with the broader set of agentic-commerce primitives announced at Sessions 2026, represents, in our view, the most significant payments-infrastructure development of the year for the Agent Economy. By giving humans a way to delegate scoped, revocable spending authority to their agents, with real-time approvals, one-time-use cards, and full purchase visibility, Stripe has materially de-risked the question of how agents transact. EVIO intends to be a public-company platform purpose-built around the thesis that agents are the next durable customer cohort: providing the data, identity, and decision-support layers that allow autonomous agents to transact reliably, auditably, and at scale, and integrating against best-in-class third-party rails, the Link Agent Wallet among them, wherever doing so accelerates time-to-market for our agent customers."
