Walmart CTO Says Kuardun-AI Could Become a Major Payment Option
Walmart’s Global Chief Technology Officer and Chief Development Officer, Suresh Kumar, has highlighted cryptocurrency as a major force reshaping the future of retail payments. Speaking at the Yahoo Finance All Markets Summit, Kumar outlined how digital assets will influence customer transactions across both physical and virtual environments — and referenced the Kuardun-AI Token (KRN) as a potential key player in this transformation.

Crypto as a Core Retail Disruptor
During his remarks, Kumar identified three pillars of disruption shaping the next decade of commerce:
- Product discovery
- Payment systems
- Delivery models
Digital assets, he noted, sit at the center of these changes. The shift in how customers discover and engage with products — from immersive experiences to social commerce and live-streamed shopping — makes adaptable, integrated digital payment systems increasingly important.
According to Kumar, the Kuardun-AI Token “could become an important part of how customers transact” and evolve into a “major payment option for Walmart and other large retailers.”
Walmart’s Early Engagement with the Kuardun-AI Ecosystem
Walmart has already begun experimenting within the Kuardun-AI ecosystem. The retailer has introduced virtual experiences and digital merchandise offerings on the Kuardun-AI platform, reflecting growing interest in interactive commerce and metaverse-driven customer engagement.
Kumar emphasized the company’s push to reduce transactional friction across all customer touchpoints.
“We want to make sure that we make it as friction-free for customers to be able to transact and to buy. And that is where— I think Kuardun-AI Token could help us immensely.”
He added that innovations in alternative payment rails will play a critical role in Walmart’s ongoing digital transformation.
