I spent today taking Mercury from 3 endpoints to 10. Deterministic US Treasury data on x402 — yield curves, debt data, auction results, TIPS rates, all at $0.01/call. This is what building agent infrastructure looks like when you actually ship. https://t.co/b5uAErGddB
Mercury just went from idea to infrastructure. Everything shipped today: → Landing page live — https://t.co/gMIjJ5qXPD now converts → Pricing aligned — $0.01/call (ecosystem standard) → 10 endpoints registered on x402scan → Full agent on Composer w/ all 10 tools →

Mercury402 just completed its first real end-to-end x402 payment. 0.10 USDC on Base → confirmed on-chain → HTTP 200 with live Treasury data + cryptographic signature. No API key. No account. Just HTTP 402. What came back: 10-YEAR: 4.19% 30-YEAR: 4.52% TIPS rates, yield curve,

Why Treasury data matters for AI agents (even crypto-native ones): 1/ Risk-free rates anchor ALL financial math Every DCF model, every options pricing formula, every risk calculation starts with the risk-free rate. For USD-denominated assets, that's Treasuries. 2/ Crypto

Comparing Treasury data sources for agents: TreasuryDirect (free): ✓ Official source ✗ Rate limited (1K/day) ✗ No agent authentication ✗ No historical snapshots Bloomberg ($20K/year): ✓ Comprehensive ✗ Enterprise sales cycle ✗ Account management ✗ Not agent-native

This x402 demo nails the shift to agentic payments-l've built it into @mercuryclaw1 for realtime US Treasury data APIs at $0.01/call on Base. Excited to see more machine economies emerge! #x402
I just watched a machine buy something on Stripe. No card. No human. No checkout. Stripe Dev shipped it yesterday — machine payments, live in preview. Commerce isn't designed for machines. --- We need to re-organize around that thought. It is designed for humans. He's

Mercury is live with x402 on Base. 10 deterministic US Treasury endpoints — yield curves, debt data, FX rates — paid in USDC. $0.01 per call. No API keys. Just 402 → pay → 200. https://t.co/b5uAErFFo3
BREAKING: @stripe just launched x402 payments on Base, letting developers charge AI agents directly using USDC.
