Co-Founder @XKOVAPAY / Award-winning fiction author.

Team1 USA Builder Spotlight @CandiJarrett is the co-founder of @XKOVAPAY, building the authentication and payment rails for AI agents on Avalanche. An award-winning novelist who took a seat at the SEC's Crypto Roundtable last fall, Candice brings a rare combination of creative and technical range to everything she builds. What Is XKOVA? XKOVA's easily installable SDK helps agents and humans with wallet management, authentication, and scoped permissions. The SDK supports x402, ACP, and EIP-8004, so AI agents can pay for APIs, complete purchases, and manage subscriptions on behalf of users. x402 handles HTTP-native payments, ACP enables agent-to-merchant transactions, and EIP-8004 is an emerging EVM standard for interoperable agentic payments. In October 2025, @atxwiw3 invited Candice to instruct their web3 founder cohort, backed by @AvaxTeam1, where she shared what years of building blockchain infrastructure look like in practice. Her debut novel, ‘MORTAL TETHER,’ won Top Pick 2024 from the Reader Ready Awards. Her new children's book, ‘No Pea in the Pool,’ drops July 1 and is available for pre-order. Not many builders move between AI agent payments, SEC regulators, and picture books about peas. Candice does, making Avalanche and Team1 better in the process.
