Today, we released x402, to let any agent with a wallet pay for an API without signing up. Below are some of my insights from thinking about crypto agents for the past six months, and why we think x402 will catalyze the next wave of crypto AI innovation

Coinbase's x402 open payment protocol is built with AI agents in mind.

x402 mentioned 🙌🙌

This weekend, I got yet another note of an eng leader leaving their job to build agentic commerce on top of x402. Proud of these builders. @CoinbaseDev is here to support. The agentic economy will be onchain 🔥

Would love to see a mini app or agent in TBA for AI image generation so i don’t need to leave the app. Could pay for it through x402

my working hypothesis as to why zk rollups never took off is that if the consumer can't tangibly *feel* the difference, then there's no reason for them to use something holds true across crypto apps/infra

the robinhood announcement marked the bottom for ETH sentiment

This is literally the easiest way for you to play with image-to-video models, powered by x402 connect your farcaster account and get a fun prompt of the day with your pfp like this one

Hugging Face Spaces pay per inference working on 3 different models with with wallet payouts (10/30/30/30 split) now. Didn't win (I spent more time on making a python package for it to work with FastAPI than on a specific agent use case), but learned a lot about x402 and CDP…
