After years of building in AI and Blockchain, We’ve started a new weekly newsletter: Vitwit Signals. Every week, We’ll share what truly matters in AI, Crypto, and Infra — not just headlines, but shifts that affect builders, founders, and researchers. In the first issue: –

Where I see the biggest value capture in x402: • Consumer products built on curated x402 resources • Platforms that help creators + builders monetize • Curation & discovery layers (search) dreaming....

x402 landscape ✍️ In October, I published this landscape, where I listed many projects and chains. But this is not even half of the projects that are on the market. I need your help. Please send a link to the project that needs to be added to x402 landscape in the comments.

New dark pattern: x402 (A) service forwards to another x402 provider (B) but then (B) updates under the hood to call (A). Trust me, ai agents will accidentally do this. There’s a lot of game theory to unlock for ERC-8004.

we have a lot of things to solve in the x402 ecosystem for it to find pmf and be robust. we the issue right now is that there are many points of failure when building agentic flows with multiple different resources. - Resource Networking - Resources Facilitator Networking -

x402 Status: Coinbase's 80% Iron Fist Rule, PayAI's Bold Chase—Daydreams Rising Star, Who Claims the AI Payments "Network Effect" Throne?🧐 The x402 protocol (AI payment protocol) is on the verge of an explosion. As of November 13, 2025, its total transaction volume has

Many reasons for this: - institutions have captured a lot of the value - narratives are "boring" (RWAs, stables, tokenization) - alts continue to bleed against btc - revenue "meta" is forcing the entire industry to matrue and get rid of easy money - vc's nuking all their unlocks
Crypto is actually going into a supercycle and 90% of natives are unhappy about it can't make this up

It’s shocking how easily human delays can distort truth in prediction markets. The Polymarket shutdown issue shows this clearly. AI is the leverage we need for an efficient system. It’s time to build and run a decentralised BFT AI agent swarm truth oracle. Here is the idea we
A real mess happened with @Polymarket and AI Agents could have avoided it easily. Prediction markets are supposed to be truth markets. They work only when outcomes are resolved based on objective, observable reality, not bureaucratic delays or broken processes. But the recent

Went deeper on this thought — how x402 and facilitators evolve into the billing and trust mesh for web3 compute. Why x402 is hot right now is not because it’s another payment rail. It’s because it solves a core missing piece in web3 apps and agent architecture — a native payment
Everyone calls x402 a crypto payment rail. But it’s something deeper — the missing payment gateway layer for web3 apps and AI agents.

That's a new wave of dapps. WuAi's social agents x402 are not just hype but real infrastructure that is being built.
Every dApp and agent today struggles with one thing — how to handle payments across chains, services, and users in a seamless way. That’s the real gap #x402 starts to fill.

Programmable money deserves programmable billing. x402 is the first real step in that direction. The future of payments is facilitator-driven, not wallet-driven. #x402 #Web3Payments #Facilitators #CryptoInfra #AgentEconomy

If we fix fragmentation, trust, and utility at once, we get a payment UX that scales with agent velocity — not against it. This becomes the billing and trust mesh for web3 compute.

Beyond this, facilitators need: • Org-level accounts and spend policies • MEV-safe routing for private swaps • Escrow-based dispute windows • Multi-stable routing and receipts registry That’s when it becomes production-grade infrastructure.

3. Subscriptions — per-request billing breaks for high-frequency agents. We need hybrid subscriptions: streamed balances, NFT passes, and spend caps. This turns payments into programmable utility.

2. Decentralized facilitators — instead of one operator, anyone can run a facilitator node, stake collateral, and earn by executing intents. Each transaction produces a verifiable on-chain receipt. Misbehavior leads to slash. Think Akash or EigenLayer, but for payments.

1. Cross-chain payments — users pay in one stable unit (say USDC), facilitators handle swaps and settlement. This removes chain and token fragmentation completely.

The facilitator model is where the real value emerges. There are three layers that make it powerful: 1. Cross-chain payments (fragmentation fix) 2. Decentralized facilitators (trust fix) 3. Subscriptions (utility fix)

Most see it as a bridge between web2 and web3. I see it as a native web3 payment gateway — programmable, composable, and verifiable. The foundation for agent-driven ecosystems.
