On December 19th, OpenMind and Circle announced a strategic partnership to jointly launch the world's first payment infrastructure for autonomous agents and real-world embodied AI. By integrating the USDC stablecoin and OpenMind's x402 protocol module, this collaboration enables robots and AI agents to make direct payments for energy, services, and data in the physical world.
Circle released a demo video on the X platform this week: the robot can recharge itself without replacing the battery and complete the entire payment process via USDC.
The OpenMind team stated that this feature will be piloted first in Silicon Valley, and in the future, it will provide a universal, convenient, and universal on-chain payment solution for the widespread implementation of embodied intelligence, helping intelligent agents achieve long-term sustainability and automated operation, and gradually integrate into people's daily lives.
