## Description

Jeff Wentworth, Co-founder of Curvegrid, examines how AI coding agents are changing software development for digital asset finance. Using MultiBaas and its new treasury platform, Neo, he shows how teams can move from an idea to a working interface, test features with customers in real time, and compress feedback cycles from weeks to minutes. He contrasts engineered software with disposable software and argues that cheaper code makes distribution, customer trust, governance, integrations, and operating history more valuable.

The speed of AI development also increases risk. Wentworth warns that polished interfaces can conceal fragile code, opaque software supply chains, and untested edge cases. Teams should let agents move quickly on prototypes, read-only dashboards, experiments, and tests, while placing strict boundaries around money, private data, identities, permissions, and signing keys. For agentic finance, the essential product is a control layer for authority, policy, approvals, verification, and reconciliation. Interfaces may be disposable, but authority cannot be.
