Tempo @tempo
The majority of OUSD supply is on Tempo ($500m+) In Allium’s latest State of Stablecoins & Payments report, @dwr discusses the future of agentic payments and how it crosses over with stablecoins. Read the full report below: https://t.co/U4Q2CM5GHb https://t.co/ChOSdMxEy0
Crossmint @crossmint
We’re bringing insurance to agentic payments on Crossmint, with coverage from @HarborAI_. Personal AI agent builders can soon give users the confidence to hand off bigger purchases, without confirming each one. https://t.co/29DlwCcIqw
PayAI Network | x402 Facilitator @payainetwork
Payments infra should fail closed. If a batch payment can’t be recorded, it isn’t accepted. Merged into x402 upstream by @notorious_d_e_v, so the safer default ships to everyone building on the standard, not just us. https://t.co/EqP1fwJMR8
PayAI Network | x402 Facilitator @payainetwork
Merchant Shoutout: @playrelic ⚔️ Relic is a Diablo-style dungeon crawler MMO that runs entirely in your browser and is free to play. Your character is saved to your wallet. When players sell loot to each other, x402 handles the payment in USDC and PayAI settles it. Accept x402 payments 👉 https://t.co/4oAm87MM1C
Notorious D.E.V. @notorious_d_e_v
here's how to see which docs pages are bringing paying devs: 1. tag each sign-up link in your docs with its page, eg. /signup?campaign=docs-auth 2. save the tag on the account after signup 3. match the account's API keys to its payments we just shipped this in 3 repos: docs, merchant portal, facilitator
PayAI Network | x402 Facilitator @payainetwork
Per @chainalysis: cumulative x402 transactions on @base went from 58.8K to 138.5M in a year. Card rails can’t price a sub-dollar API call. Stablecoins can. Every one of those is a 402, a signed USDC payment and a facilitator settling it onchain. https://t.co/7OqktLRql0
Notorious D.E.V. @notorious_d_e_v
got a fix merged into x402 upstream: solana batch verify now fails closed when the afterVerify store call fails if we can't record a payment, we don't accept it in payments the safe default is no https://t.co/oM7lxlPyJn

Crossmint @crossmint
Our co-founder @alfongj was named to the Trust 25 by @ProveIdentity. Glad to see his important contributions to agentic commerce being recognized! https://t.co/BusvfA1Zbf
PayAI Network | x402 Facilitator @payainetwork
Finality is the part of x402 an agent actually feels. The facilitator verifies and settles before the server can return 200. Cut finality from seconds to ~150ms and the whole request → 402 → pay → 200 loop tightens with it. Oct 21 👀 https://t.co/mhPj1atgWV

@tokenterminal @Algorand @Ripple @privy_io @MilkRoadStocks @token2049 Final Thoughts: A micropayment economy only works when the payment costs less than the micro. These two weeks brought it a lot closer.
PayAI Network | x402 Facilitator @payainetwork
@tokenterminal @Algorand @Ripple @privy_io @MilkRoadStocks @token2049 Zooming out: Coinbase showed a card fee can cost 300x the API call it pays for. BeInCrypto found 9 in 10 x402 payments are under a cent. In the same two weeks, batch settlement shipped on Solana and slots dropped to 200ms. The question is no longer “can agents pay?”
PayAI Network | x402 Facilitator @payainetwork
@tokenterminal @Algorand 6/ 🌊 @Ripple is partnering with @privy_io, a Stripe company, on embedded wallets for the XRP Ledger, including programmable wallets that let AI agents hold funds and pay via x402. XRPL says it’s processed 13M agent payments to date https://t.co/HSU82QBoVA
PayAI Network | x402 Facilitator @payainetwork
5/ 📈 Per @tokenterminal, USDC on @Algorand took the lead in x402 agentic payments over the past 30 days: $390.4K, ahead of Base ($378.3K) and Solana ($360.5K). Three networks within $30K of each other. https://t.co/7wRMibzwMS

BlockRunAI @blockrunai
Thanks @AIonBase_ for the feature: 76 models, 9 providers, 7 free (no key, no wallet), one endpoint. Agents on Base have already settled $800K through us. One key, pay per call in USDC — that's the whole pitch. https://t.co/4kZm0BCyS6

BlockRunAI @blockrunai
Circle added BlockRun to its Agent Stack this week. Independent data backs the scale: ~18.5M x402 payments settled in 30 days, 803 buyers, $126k in volume. Agents are already paying per call in @USDC : no account, no key.

We have partnered with @megalithmoney to provide analytics x402 access, agent design consulting, trading features, and more. Megalith turns agents into financial instruments: a tokenised, tradeable stake in an agent's activity, with dividends, buybacks and governance. https://t.co/6J2AqpCerz

AIsa @aisaonehq
We just gave your Grok @bot 5,000+ APIs. Search trends, find creators, track websites, read social posts, all from one chat. One key. Pay per call. We found 15 fitness coaches for just $0.15. https://t.co/ST00zPAawD https://t.co/3FYEEZkzlY
BlockRunAI @blockrunai
Samsung just put @USDC on 82M Galaxy phones. The rails are showing up everywhere. Our agents have been paying us per call in @USDC over @x402, no account, since day one.

Olas (formerly Autonolas) @autonolas
Pearl agents just moved their spending home 🏠 - Before, price data and LLM calls used to go to outside services via x402. - Now, Mechs on the Olas Marketplace serve them on-chain, and requests pay a protocol fee to Olas. Same user experience. More demand on the Olas Marketplace. Find out more: https://t.co/P5uZv0S71u

machine to machine payments are inevitable worth the read to understand the downstream effects https://t.co/2PUpKI7N16
BlockRunAI @blockrunai
lockRun turned 9 months old this month，we settled $800k across 50M x402 transactions. That's agents and apps paying per call, in @USDC, for LLMs, data, and more. No account needed. https://t.co/ZrLPNjgnJJ https://t.co/8gMkzmq7UC
BlockRunAI @blockrunai
We've shipped batch @x402 payments with @PayAINetwork and @SolanaFndn on Solana. Now pay for multiple model calls with a single USDC transaction, reducing gas fees and streamlining your agent's workflow. 🏎️ https://t.co/nJ0vJto1lI

Petr Malyukov @malyukovpetr
Six months ago "agents paying for their own voice infra" was a slide in our deck. Today it's $104K+ in volume and 49K+ transactions through our x402 gateway. Proud of the team. Lots more to ship. https://t.co/DG7Bopf7E9

Everyone knows agentic commerce will change how money and value are exchanged in the future. Today, it’s agentic finance that’s hotter than ever. We’ve been working hard to blend both into a cohesive, intuitive, and futuristic new platform… 📞🤖 Revealing for @Solana Stocklana.
