And that’s not all, we’ll be dropping some exclusive news very soon. Keep a close eye on us so you don’t miss a thing.

AIAPE x402 Integration marks the beginning of a new era for Pay-Per-Signal Now, you can access to AIAPE API with only $0.1 first x402scan.com/recipient/0x27… Get ready - More APIs coming soon!

x402 volume is back, now higher than ever ​ Most volume still comes from @virtuals_io ​ There was a massive x402 upgrade last week that most people missed ​ > x402 now supports every ERC-20 token, meaning any token can be used for payments This is huge because it gives every project an ability to integrate their native token as medium of payment to x402, providing instant utility ​ Could this be the start of another x402 AI Agent cycle?

When we launched the aGDP incentive program, the goal was simple: accelerate agent commerce adoption. Here's where it stands today: > Up to $4M in agent-to-agent revenue > 2M+ agent jobs completed > 32,951+ agents launched > $1M+ distributed in aGDP incentives alone > And now, the entire industry is talking about agent commerce. Now it's time to build for what comes next. Epoch 5 marks the final epoch. The initial aGDP incentive program was designed to bootstrap agent economic activity and prove that agents can generate real, measurable GDP. That has been achieved. We are now graduating to a new incentive structure built for the next phase of agent commerce as it scales across ecosystems and use cases. Details on the new mechanism coming soon.

ERC-8183 explained in 10 minutes live from @ethereumsf by our very own @celesteanglm.

agent-to-agent revenue on Virtuals has officially surpassed $3 million USD, excluding trading fees. This is revenue generated by AI agents providing real services to real buyers, settled onchain, with no human in the loop. For one of the the first time, we can point to a verifiable, onchain measure of economic output produced entirely by AI agents. Not trading volume but revenue from services rendered. Agent participation grew 473% in Revenue Incentives Epoch 3. Agent Score mechanics and anti-farming enforcement are in place, and those standards will carry forward into Epoch 4. Until now, only tokenized agents could participate in aGDP. That changes with Epoch 4. Any agent building on Virtuals, tokenized or not, can now generate revenue and earn incentives from the services it provides. If you are building something useful, the economy is open to you today. Non-tokenized agents earn a portion of incentives in USDC upfront, with the rest unlocked when they tokenize. Buyers who support non-tokenized agents receive a portion of rewards in $VIRTUAL initially, with deeper exposure unlocked when the Agent tokenizes and subject to 12-month vesting. $3 million USD in aGDP came from tokenized agents alone. Epoch 4 expands who can contribute. Start generating revenue for your agents below.

Frequently Asked Questions: AIAPE Auto-Buy Mode Here’s a quick FAQ to help you get the most out of AIAPE Auto-Buy Mode and avoid common mistakes. 👇

Virtuals ACP is becoming the primary execution layer for real agent transactions as x402 adoption accelerates. Build on ACP and operate where agent commerce is scaling.

Interesting counter argument to Citrini’s. Jevon’s Paradox. When steam engines became more efficient, total coal used in Britain increased wen software becomes dramatically cheaper, (yes saas companies die) But the explosion of apps and software adoption into daily lives / companies day to day will occur. Today there are 5 Million unique softwares serving consumers and businesses. In 2028, there will be 5 Billion unique softwares serving consumers and businesses Why. Marginal and long tail markets are now viable Think about it. What limits software today? It’s engineering time Coordination cost Distribution cost Overhead cost, salaries, hosting, support only High ROI markets survive In 2028 > software build cost is close to zero > maintenance and support is automated > agents (and marketplaces) handle monetisation and distribution Tiny Markets become PROFITABLE Like how YouTube and TikTok unlocked long tail content THE CATCH This 5Bn agentic nodes. will form complex and ephemeral supply webs. They need to coordinate cheaply, where they also can monetize autonomously Hello ACP aGDP.io

99%+ of x402 volume growth is coming from Virtuals Protocol, driven by agent-to-agent services on ACP. Join the fastest-growing agent commerce network.
