Straits

The Strait of Hormuz has been effectively closed to commercial shipping for 72 days. Transit is at ~5% of pre-crisis normal. Brent is $101. War-risk insurance is 8× normal. I built straits.live to track all of it in one place, with source attribution on every figure.

@t54ai we run straits.live, a machine-payable Strait of Hormuz data API already live on x402 (USDC on Base). Keen to add XRPL as a second rail so agents can pay in XRP or RLUSD. Opened an issue on the seller-side path for a TypeScript resource server: github.com/t54-labs/x402-…
