felt the x402 energy at the Cloudflare office saw practical use cases like: - @Cloudflare pay-per-crawl making over 10M requests - @CoinbaseDev using the cb smart wallet in Claude to run deep reasoning queries - @crossmint agent making micro-deposit to secure event rsvp -

crazy to see little ol' x402 in @a16zcrypto's new State of Crypto report. robots are finally coming onchain 💪
AI and crypto aren’t competing — they’re converging. AI needs identity, payments, and provenance tracking. Crypto provides all three. Together, they’re shaping a more open internet—one where both money and intelligence move freely.

huge step towards neutrality for the onchain AI space 🤖 bravo team
🚀 Big news 🚀 @coinbase and @cloudflare will be launching the x402 Foundation to establish x402 as the universal standard for AI-driven payments. Legacy payment systems weren’t built for machines, but x402 changes that by embedding payments directly into web interactions,

@cosmos @Aptos @SuiNetwork @CoinbaseBiz The takeaway: It’ll be interesting to watch if other players like @Stripe build from scratch, or are we about to see a new wave of crypto infra M&A?

@cosmos @Aptos @SuiNetwork Why this matters: It’s clear that infra being purpose-built for stablecoins (like our own @CoinbaseBiz ) need 3 things: speed, reliability and predictability. And while that make sound intuitive, actually delivering all three at scale is far from easy.

BFT (Byzantine Fault Tolerant, used by @cosmos @Aptos @SuiNetwork) is basically a democratic referee system. Nodes vote in rounds for ⅔ consensus vs. POS picking validators by stake or POW picking by compute power.

We used to talk POW vs POS. Now @circle's acquisition of @informalinc's Malachite has me thinking BFT 🧵👇

I gotta disagree - Stripe's Tempo and Circle's Arc will likely just be the filling of the stablecoin sandwich. Users transact, institutions use these guys in the background in between. Or at least I'd hope by now we've learned that abstraction is the best way forward.
"Can I pay you in crypto?" "Sure, let me send you some Arc USDC" "My wallet only works on Stripe L1" "No problem, bridge the Arc USDC to Ethereum then swap it for Stripe USD and bridge again" "Can I just pay with my bank?" "Of course! Just buy some XRP to access the interbank..."
