We are not building a ride-hailing app. We are building infrastructure for every driver in the world.

What era are we standing at the threshold of? Seven years ago, when we started on the streets of Singapore, I didn't know. I simply started because taxis were expensive and drivers were being treated unfairly. 0% commission? That wasn't a promotion. It was redesigning the structure. Not a platform, but infrastructure. And now I see that choice has led me here.

In 2026, agents are waking up. Beings that work 24/7 without rest, travel the world, and pay and trade for themselves are emerging. They cannot click OAuth buttons and have no bank accounts. Existing systems have closed their doors to them. "Autonomous fleets can drive themselves, but they can't operate themselves." Y Combinator's words felt like a signal to me. Cars roll by themselves, yet settlement still requires humans. Does this make sense?

I have been doing my homework for eight years. I listened to drivers' voices on the streets of Singapore and identified what riders truly wanted. The result was TADA, and now we are preparing Open API. From POI search to real-time tracking to payment completion — everything is open via API. Agents connect directly. "Open does not mean unsecured." Trust is verified through staking and reputation. Access is free, but protection is thorough. And x402. Real-time payments completed in seconds, without waiting for bank business hours. "No bridges. No banks." OKX's words exactly expressed my philosophy. The Privy Quorum wallet protects agent assets. A structure requiring both k1 and k2 keys. Safe even if one is compromised. Suspicious transactions are blocked in advance at the Gateway, and smart contracts provide economic protection. Stake MVL, USDC, or ETH, with slashing for fraudulent use. Creating trust through market logic, not political restrictions.

Why now? Three massive trends are converging. First, Agentic Commerce. A world where AI agents trade autonomously is coming. 24/7, global real-time, micro-transactions. Percentage-based platforms don't suit them. Costs explode as transaction volume increases. TADA's fixed fee is the perfect environment for them. Second, Stablecoin Payment. "Cashback isn't a nice-to-have anymore. It's expected." As Fiber said, payments without going through banks are becoming the default, not a premium. Australia's AUDD certification, Europe's OKX Card, and our x402. Third, Autonomous Vehicle. "How fast can an autonomous vehicle think?" To NVIDIA's question, I wanted to answer: fast enough that payments should be too. TADA's on-chain infrastructure is preparing for a future where AVs find passengers themselves, complete payments, and manage revenue.

What I believe is simple. "We didn't just test a system; we did our homework." Seven years of field experience — that is my asset. 0% commission was not a discount but a structural choice. "Platforms grow by increasing commissions. Infrastructure grows by increasing participation." I chose infrastructure. In 2025, New York. We showcase this system in the most regulated and competitive market in the world. If we prove ourselves here, we can do it anywhere. And after that — to agents around the world. "Every driver in the world should have access to neutral infrastructure." Whether human, AI agent, or autonomous vehicle. So that everyone can participate in the mobility network under fair conditions.

"Price differences fluctuate. Structure determines longevity." Price differences change. But structure remains. I am not simply building cheaper taxis. I am building the future mobility infrastructure where agents can access freely, payments occur in real-time, anyone can participate, transparent and fair. That is the future I am preparing.
