Ed Marquez builds payment infrastructure for artificial intelligence. He focuses on enabling AI agents to transact autonomously, solving the problem of machine-native payments using open standards like x402.
At Hashgraph, he grows the Hedera network by helping developers bridge distributed ledgers with modern software. His talks break down how networks handle micro-transactions and how autonomous systems can operate without humans stepping in to clear a checkout.
Before moving into web3, Ed worked on advanced vehicle systems. He holds degrees in engineering and management from Virginia Tech and Harvard.
