I'm very excited to share this - a lot of how we build is modeled after @stripe's craft and attention to detail. On our end, we're excited to push even harder for our partners across the many verticals crypto impacts today! It's going to be a very exciting few years!

Time to build!
AI agents can now pay per API call. x402 is live on Allium. Real-time onchain data, paid per request. Wallet -> request -> response. No accounts. No billing dashboards. This works seamlessly with @privy_io powered agent wallets. Live on Base Sepolia. Mainnet next week.

What a time to be alive -- start tinkering with agentic payments now!
Autonomous agents are an entirely new category of users to build for, and, increasingly, to sell to. Today, we’re launching (a preview) of machine payments on @stripe—a way for developers to directly charge agents, with a few lines of code. 🤖💸 $ Let’s start tinkering… ⤵️
