@theZeugh Would be happy to chat

helping raise for a stablecoin + x402 data business DM if interested

@liminal_warmth Thank you @liminal_warmth! We’re working on increasing stablecoin adoption for all types of buyers and sellers. Exciting challenges to solve

Extremely cool and always one of the promises of what crypto might enable but won’t work for individuals unless wallet use for this type of activity gets popularized by a flagship use case (what?) and businesses will still mostly prefer and require invoicing terms and contracts

@songadaymann Happy to brainstorm! It would be fun to jam on ideas for our product at Cloudflare @songadaymann

Whoa!

@jessepollak @jbrukh Agreed :) Let me know if you have any feedback!

@jbrukh yes

You have to admit this is pretty cool.

@0xjordy Responded!

@WillPapper @Cloudflare congrats Will! check DMs

I’m excited to announce that I’ve joined @Cloudflare as a Product Manager focused on Agent Payments. We are building out payment tooling on top of stablecoin rails, and our first product is a Monetization Gateway that will help website creators get paid for their content and APIs without any custom code. I’ve believed in micropayments as a use case for crypto since 2013, and I can’t imagine a better place to work on it than at Cloudflare, which handles 20% of the world’s Internet traffic. At Syndicate, I spent the last five years working to increase the mainstream adoption of crypto, and I’m proud of the developer tooling that we built for hundreds of projects ranging from Fortune 100s to startups. The deep expertise that we built in blockchain scaling will help as Cloudflare seeks to scale to a level that exceeds all existing blockchains combined. In addition, Cloudflare’s distribution and leadership in protocols like x402 will bring crypto to orders of magnitude more people than the user base that exists today. Monetization Gateway is our first product, and we are building a suite of products to help developers both buy and sell useful APIs and content. If you are a developer or creator who is seeking better ways to pay and get paid, please do DM me. Likewise, if you are in the stablecoin tooling or blockchain infrastructure space, I’d love to chat as well so that we can help the entire industry grow together. My DMs are open for feature requests or feedback for our work at Cloudflare!

@frolic Exactly the kinds of use cases we hope to support at Cloudflare! Feel free to DM me with suggestions or feature requests

I have always wanted something like this, to be able to build small APIs/services but let something else handle the auth and/or payments.

@wgw_eth You can do either! If you want to roll your own, that is already available: developers.cloudflare.com/ai-crawl-contr… But we will be able to offer much better analytics available for people who run through our managed system, which is a burning need for many customers

I don't get that tho.. why more dashboard config instead of just slapping a x402 proxy infront of your api..

@mickhagen Yes that would be great! I’ll ensure I’m there too

@WillPapper @Cloudflare Congrats! I'm connecting with Steph/Justin in a few weeks. We need to get you on that call.

@0xkatz Agreed that smoothing the adoption process will be a big unlock. Happy to jam any time about our focus at Cloudflare on this!

Extremely bullish for x402. I always thought x402 was the best solution, yet feared that adoption may be slowed by integration hassle, compared to (for eg) agent cards. But if everyone using cloudflare (to a first approximation ~= all apps) is able to support x402, this is no longer an issue

@samrags_ Many opportunities to work together, happy to brainstorm any time!

@WillPapper @Cloudflare Very cool

@raihan_ Thank you Raihan, let’s jam soon!
