It’s been incredible to see x402 go viral this week! For anyone new, welcome to the movement. I designed x402 to be the HTTP of money: a universally accepted, neutral, core primitive to help make the internet ready for the AI era. I can’t wait to see what people build 🛠️

it’s one thing to use Claude to plan your trip it’s another thing to have it actually book the room Just add Base and Travala MCP then ask for what you need. It'll find a hotel, book it and pay with x402

@MurrLincoln Good post

@GuiBibeau Not quite, but maybe the next one

@programmer Is that a hint of your new gig?

Seems like a great time to start an ai lab in Canada

Are you polyagentist or monoagentist? Polyagentist: believe people will interact with many agents Monoagentist: believe people will interact primarily with a single agent

"It's when you give your agent access to secrets, to proprietary data, to the things that are hidden because they're valuable. That's when your agent becomes as interesting as possible." @programmer of x402 with @yugacohler of @CoinbaseDev on the Main Stage at ETHConf.

@MurrLincoln Knows ball is top of my resume

@programmer Been thinking about this too long today you had to have re-rolled or something

@ViktorBunin @hthieblot same

@hthieblot I miss the StumbleUpon extension. So much wonderful content. I loved it and miss it so much.

Anyone who surfed the early web between 1995-2010. What’s the one website/app you still think about?

When money is programmable you can do anything. Batch settlement on x402 allows streams, sessions, and effectively no cap on transactions per second.

@shafu0x @CoinbaseDev still forbidden

@programmer @CoinbaseDev congrats Erik! building x403 next?

Update: I’ve left Coinbase. I’m starting a company. I’ll continue to be involved with x402 as a member of the Technical Steering Committee with the foundation, and as an advisor to Coinbase on agentic commerce. I’m incredibly proud of the work we’ve done in @CoinbaseDev. It's truly an elite team executing at the highest of levels. Many exciting things coming soon 👀. @yugacohler will be taking the helm as Head of Engineering, he’s a rockstar, he’ll crush it. It's been an exceptional second tour of duty at Coinbase. It was a hard decision to leave, but there's an idea in my head I need to get into the world. Big thank you to @barmstrong, @emiliemc and @nemild for bringing me back, and to @alecglovett, @yuga @brian__foster and everyone else in CDP - it's been an honour.

@brian_armstrong @CoinbaseDev Thank you Brian, I learned from the best.

@programmer @CoinbaseDev Bullish on whatever you do next! You're a rare talent.
