Every AI agent deserves a crypto wallet. In fact, there will be more AI agents transacting online than humans very soon. x402 is the internet payments layer (which has been missing for the last 30 years), and will enable this. The new x402 foundation will exist under the Linux Foundation, with @Coinbase, @Cloudflare and @Stripe as key contributors. Once all agents start transacting natively on the internet at scale, entirely new product and business opportunities will open up. twitter.com/brian_armstrong/st...

The cloud stack for agentic commerce is coming together. AWS just published a deep dive on x402, with reference architecture for both agent and provider apps on @AWScloud: → 402 response with payment instructions via Lambda@Edge → Agentcore deployment sends USDC micropayment on @base → Request completes automatically HTTP finally has native payments.

Where do AI agents settle their payments onchain? Base and Solana. That's it. 97% of all machine-to-machine transactions. 🔹 Base: 59% (70.9M txs) 🔹 Solana: 38% (45.3M txs) 🔹 Everything else: 3% (3.9M txs)
