【BitPush】AI Agent Payment Infrastructure Project PAN Network has recently made new progress. They have just completed a $1 million KOL funding round, following their previous $3.2 million seed round. Supporters include institutions such as Whitewaters, Hadeslabs, HGE, and others. After this funding, BlockFocus (formerly Aster Advisors) also joined as a strategic investment advisor.

Speaking of PAN Network’s core competitiveness, it mainly revolves around automated payments between AI agents. The project is developing an on-chain AI payment protocol, specifically targeting the value settlement needs of Agent-to-Agent (A2A). Their technical framework integrates the A2A payment model, x402 payment protocol, and ERC-8004 trust standard, aiming to enable machines to perform verifiable, fully automated large-scale value exchanges without human involvement.

From the project’s perspective, PAN Network aims to build a universal payment and settlement infrastructure for the entire AI agent economy. As autonomous AI agents are increasingly applied in real-world scenarios, this machine-to-machine automatic settlement capability will become more and more important. Overall, this direction indeed aligns with the current major trend of Web3 and AI integration.

PAN has raised funding again... This pace is a bit intense. Well, a $5 million Series 500 for KOLs still makes sense. But the AI Agent payment track... the competition is really fierce. BlockFocus joining as an advisor—are they trying to latch onto a big player or genuinely optimistic? Funding doesn't equal product success; it depends on implementation. How long can this round of funding last? It still depends on operations. Major institutions are rushing in; it seems this direction really has potential. Having plenty of money is good, but the worry is it might all be burned through quickly.

Pan's fundraising progress is quite fast, from seed to KOL round in such a short time? --- 5 million USD, a new player has entered the industry again --- Blockfocus joining as an advisor, this lineup is indeed impressive --- Recently, there have been many hot topics in AI agent payments. How far Pan can go depends on execution --- Everyone is competing in the AI agent track, and Yue is not short of money --- What is the usual logic behind KOL round financing, and what can it indicate? --- It's those Whitewaters again. When did these institutions ever invest in a failed project? --- Payment infrastructure sounds great, but implementation is the key

Pan Network is raising funds again? The group of investors in this round looks pretty good, and the addition of BlockFocus is also somewhat interesting.

The story of pan isn't finished yet, and they've already gone through another round of funding? The pace is a bit fast. BlockFocus's involvement is a highlight, but I usually just watch the KOL round for fun. AI Agent payments is a competitive track right now, but PAN's funding speed is indeed eye-catching.

PAN has raised funds again, this time the KOL round broke 5 million, and Whitewaters and others have joined... I don't know if this will truly materialize this time, or if it's just another pie in the sky?
