CDPod S2E2 drops tomorrow. 🔥 Don't miss @yugacohler's conversation with @aeyakovenko, co-founder of @solana, as they dive deep into x402.

x402 by @coinbase is now the first AI payments partner for the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE). coinbase.com/developer-platf… x402 is a protocol launched by Coinbase that enables APIs, apps, and AI agents to transact seamlessly over HTTP. Through this partnership, AI agents can discover, trigger, and pay for CRE workflows leveraging x402’s programmable payments layer, unlocking: • Programmatic payouts from proprietary data—Chainlink ensures data authenticity, CRE enables execution, and x402 orchestrates payments between agents and providers. • Monetizing CRE workflows—Builders can publish public or private workflows that anyone, including agents, can pay to use. • An onchain, native protocol stack for agentic workflows—AI agents discover CRE workflows, verify results with Chainlink, pay autonomously using x402, and settle real-world outcomes onchain. This marks a major shift from manual transactions to economically expressive AI that can participate directly in the onchain economy.

Catch up on all the details: coinbase.com/developer-platf…

This integration also unlocks programmatic payouts and a reusable workflow marketplace. For example, an insurer covering farmers against drought can verify rainfall through CRE and route instant onchain payouts all without a claim filed.

This matters because AI agents can now be economically expressive. They can now find CRE workflows, verify results with Chainlink, and settle onchain. This also gives workflow creators a clear path to earn-per-use.

We are excited to see @chainlink integrate an x402 endpoint into the Chainlink Runtime Environment. This adds a native programmable payment path so developers and AI agents can pay and invoke CRE workflows directly onchain. 🧵

Come build with us at @ycombinator on November 15! We’ll be joined by @OpenAI, @Anthropic, @Replit, and @PayWithLocus (YC25) to shape future of agentic payments. We've got a $2,500 prize track, but there's $25k in incentives overall - and the overall winner gets a guaranteed YC W26 interview. Learn to build with the open x402 standard. Discover. Pay. Autonomously.

x402's Server Wallet continues to scale! 🚀 → In the last 2 days we've seen 6.2k blocks with 250+ transactions each. → In the past 15 days, there's been 11.8k blocks with 100+ transactions, leading the facilitator share for multi-transaction blocks → Transaction fee's have held steady, and even fell after expanding our available facilitator addresses.

We’re excited to join @Visa, @Solana, and others in supporting x402 builders across the Solana ecosystem. CDP Embedded Wallets support the SVM.  It's the easiest way to build non-custodial, agent-aware interfaces for your users. 👉 Try out the experience visualizer here: demo.cdp.coinbase.com/

As @yugacohler explains, x402 enables agentic commerce "intended for humans as the end user but it's the agent facilitating these purchases." 🔥

Built around the HTTP 402 status code, x402 enables pay-per-use access to resources and API's.
