@kwok_phil @Dan_Fisher_XRP I think they might have been exaggerating slightly, I don’t think Trump was mention quite that many times in the Epstein files.

@0xSammy I presume the report covers Interledger and the W3C Web Payment Working Group work that have been working on this for the past decade? Does it address the difficulties they had with regulatory acceptance and how the technology part has been solved for years already?

Khala Research@KhalaResearch

In 1997, HTTP status code 402 was reserved for 'Payment Required'; a native payment layer built into the web itself For almost 30 years, nobody could make it work There was no digital cash and no settlement layer that could handle sub-cent transactions. The web defaulted to advertising and credit card checkout flows instead Stablecoins and Layer 2s changed that. x402 finishes what HTTP 402 started; payment as native to the web as loading an image Most people looking at agentic commerce see one maturity cycle, but there are two: 1) The retail narrative is approaching its peak; CT is buzzing, ecosystem maps are proliferating, every protocol is announcing x402 compatibility. That will correct 2) The institutional adoption curve is on a completely different trajectory. For this layer, the trough already happened in 2025 Stripe, Visa, AWS, Google, Coinbase, Circle and Cloudflare are shipping production infrastructure because their own internal analysis on projected agent transaction volume justify it In our x402 report, we map the protocol architecture, the agentic stack, the institutional landscape, and assess where the value could accrue The full report is in the next post below:

🚨BREAKING: Pentagon asks White House to approve $200+ BILLION for Iran war. That's MORE than the entire Ukraine aid ($188B over 3 years) in a single package. The request focuses on one thing: replacing munitions. Deputy Defense Secretary Feinberg admits the Pentagon is now in a "munitions shortage" and is scrambling to get production ramped up. The US military has depleted years of munition stockpiles in just 3 weeks of the war.

I forgot, there's no steel in things that actually work. And nobody can open/put a plaque on work from home, hybrid gvt, staggered school times, better public transportation. Caribbean gvts like building + cutting ribbons, with fishcakes + drinks. I guess we may get flyer-overs.
Ronnie Yearwood@RonnieYearwood

Flyovers will not ease traffic. Enough evidence world wide shows this. We don’t need another performative consultation. Here are a few things. 1,Work from home. 2,Fix public transport incl. ferry. 3,Look at staggered school start times and 4, deal with Car imports. 🚃🚗⛴️

I know Silicon Valley startups don't want to hear this..... But the combination of someone in the trades with deep domain expertise and Claude Code will run circles around your generic software. I talked to Cory LaChance this morning, a mechanical engineer in industrial piping construction in Houston. He normally works with chemical plants and refineries, but now he also works with the terminal He reached out in a DM a few days ago and I was so fired up by his story, I asked him if we could record the conversation and share it. He built a full application that industrial contractors are using every day. It reads piping isometric drawings and automatically extracts every weld count, every material spec, every commodity code. Work that took 10 minutes per drawing now takes 60 seconds. It can do 100 drawings in five minutes, saving days of time. His co-workers are all mind blown, and when he talks to them, it's like they are speaking different languages. His fabrication shop uses it daily, and he built the entire thing in 8 weeks. During those 8 weeks he also had to learn everything about Claude Code, the terminal, VS Code, everything. My favorite quote from him was when he said, "I literally did this with zero outside help other than the AI. My favorite tools are screenshots, step by step instructions and asking Claude to explain things like I'm five." Every trades worker with deep expertise and a willingness to sit down with Claude Code for a few weekends is now a potential software founder. I can't wait to meet more people like Cory.

@msvadari @Vet_X0 This is similar to the approach that Filecoin took. There were several different Filecoin node implementations, but they all used a shared common package of actors (their equivalent of transactors).

@Vet_X0 @HammerToe Not really - you'd want any second client to use the same transactors as xrpld, to avoid even the chance of a disagreement

Nowadays, thanks to AI, anyone can build apps or tools on XRP in no time. Many already are. XRP is uniquely positioned here, important core features Payments, Tokens, DEX, NFTs, Compliance tools and more, are well documented for AI and easy accessible via API calls. Nothing is cryptic, always human readable and no custom smart contracts to rely on makes it safer.

@msvadari @Vet_X0 In a similar way to how I think Rust could be a very good agentic language as it has good guardrails, I think the XRP Ledger has a lot to prevent you shooting yourself in the foot. Has there been any talk of an XRPL Rust SDK?

@Darkmdd @marshlack @JohnEDeaton1 But oceans *are* rising. Doesn’t matter whether you want to “believe” that or not. But burying your head in the sand doesn’t mean it’s not happening.

@HammerToe @marshlack @JohnEDeaton1 If everything we were told was true about climate change, we should all be frozen, thawed and frozen again It's fear tactics Ask who pays scientists, follow that money and then you'll understand They scream about oceans rising and then buy a mansion on an island 🙄

Why does Massachusetts ALWAYS get RINOs running against the Communist Dems @JohnEDeaton1 Can't we ever get a good Conservative candidate, R's that believe in Climate change can kick rocks I keep the scumbag D, at least I know what I'm getting, wtf
John E Deaton@JohnEDeaton1

The great irony in MA is that I’m the Republican Nominee for U.S. Senate - running against the co-author of the Green New Deal - @EdMarkey. Yet, take a guess which one of us has solar panels on our house? It’s not Ed Markey - not in Chevy Chase Maryland or in Malden. I also drive a Tesla and @elonmusk is right - after driving one - rather, letting it drive me wherever I want to go - you don’t want to drive anything else. Fact; my Model Y is faster than the AMG I used to drive. Although I drive an EV and have solar panels on my house - the good news is that unlike my political opponent, I’m well aware of the fact that MA can’t solve climate change by itself. Our annual carbon emissions is less than 2 days of China’s. It’s insane to punish MA businesses, residents and taxpayers by push net zero mandates by some arbitrary date. The good news: I have an energy plan that expands both solar and natural gas while incorporating nuclear - by strategically placing 4 300MW SMRs and powering nearly 40% of the 2.9 million homes across the Commonwealth - driving costs down significantly. #mapoli #MASen #Deaton

@Darkmdd @marshlack @JohnEDeaton1 Yes, I think a lot of people like yourself had a hard time grasping the concept of global warming and so climate change was used as a term that you might understand better.
