Congratulations to @EvanWeb3, @EmanAbio, and the entire @Mysten_Labs team on the launch of Hashi. An incredible list of day 1 partners - the future is bright.

As millions of agents start to come online, the internet needs to distinguish bot armies from the agents acting on behalf of humans. Introducing AgentKit, the human layer for agentic automation. Built on World ID, the AgentKit beta unlocks human-verified automation, a new primitive for the agent economy.

Excited to share Visa CLI, the first experimental product from Visa Crypto Labs. Check it out and request access here visacli.sh

@kleffew94 @cuysheffield I like this idea a lot.

@cuysheffield I want a random gift every month based on all it knows about me in context. Whatever it thinks I like best. Would be an interesting experiment.

What do you want your agent to be able to buy for you?

@i_zerbib Totally valid, but hard to get that data.

@nlevine19 A large part of agentic payments is not on x402 or on-chain rails.

@79yuuki_en Agreed

@nlevine19 "Total research cost: $0.47" is the most important line in this article. Not the $1.6M. That $0.47 proves the UX works. An analyst queried onchain data, paid per request, no subscription. That's the behavior that scales — not the dollar volume.

Command line transactions are the new "card not present" 💯

@d_tao @louisamira @atxp_ai Would love to see it!

@louisamira @nlevine19 @atxp_ai I hear the ones saying this have the data to back it up

1/ An uncomfortable truth: Even the best crypto product in the world will lose to an inferior product with a better sales team. Too many technical founders refuse to accept this until it's too late.

@Reitblat @ForterGlobal This is showing x402.

@nlevine19 I can attest from first party knowledge that this data is underestimating reality both it terms of total spend and the spend categories. There are end to end $1000+ agentic transactions daily. Unless @ForterGlobal customers represent more than 100% of the world ;)

@0xfishylosopher @artemis @OnchainLu Love the NFT analogy.

Another great post - if you've looked into agentic payments, you'll realize how murky a lot of the transactions are. Like in the early NFT days, there's a LOT of wash trading in the sector. My go to resource here is definitely @artemis x402 dashboard by @OnchainLu and team

@louisamira @atxp_ai The proof is in the data. So much exciting activity happening in the x402 community so certainly not an evaluation of the progress they have made.

@nlevine19 Some are saying $1.6m might be an underestimate. Source: @atxp_ai

@ethanyish Amazing data!

we're out here trying to accelerate this agentic payments space by 1,000x, if there are any builders who want to try out our x402 endpoints and give us feedback, please do! we win together!

@azeemk @rhackett Thank you!

@rhackett @nlevine19 Noah is honestly killing it. Excited to take a read on this one now. Loved his last two pieces.

Agentic commerce by the numbers @nlevine19

@artemis @OnchainLu Excellent recon work from @OnchainLu

"Most of the x402 numbers circulating are noise. @OnchainLu, an analyst at Artemis Analytics, built a wash trading filter for x402 volume, flagging wallets that repeatedly transacted with themselves or cycled funds between addresses. Applied over the same 30-day period, the adjusted number is $1.6 million."

@serpinxbt @a16zcrypto Most of the flows today humans are still in the loop but they are still being instructed in an agentic platform (Claude Code, openclaw etc…). Command line transactions are the new card not present (CNP)

@nlevine19 @a16zcrypto what are the agents paying for? how confident are you that they are real numbers and not wash traded? how do you define agentic- if a human is behind it, does it count?

@rparekh 💯

There's clearly something here with agentic payments and obviously really early with the numbers. On the bright side we're all getting a front row seat on how it plays out

@0xPia Very fair point.

@nlevine19 also worth adding that these are ✨microtransactions✨ bullish on # of txn to go up and up

@OnchainLu The infrastructure comes first, the volume comes second.

@nlevine19 we're still early!
