Try out Componser on x402scan.com to see the power of composable x402 resources.
json cooked with this one
Jason (@jsonhedman) from @merit_systems showed Composer, their agent interface that lets developers chain paid tools together into autonomous workflows.
A great look at how visibility + orchestration unlock real agentic commerce.
Tune in to @samrags_ taking us all through x402!
LIVE NOW - x402: The Key to Internet Money, Micropayments & The AI Agent Economy
Micropayments were always meant to be part of the internet, but the technology never existed to make them work.
Until now.
@TrustlessState sits down with @samrags_, CEO of @merit_systems, to unpack x402.
They explore how x402 could transform AI agents and humans pay for internet resources, reshape online business models beyond ads, and unlock a new economy of autonomous agents and programmable commerce.

Since launching @x402scan, builders and VCs have been asking: "What's your x402 thesis?"
It's pretty simple. We've never had a universal money language for the web before. The web was built for humans, so by clicking around, signing in, connecting banks, etc. we act as the "translator" when communicating value.
What if we removed the need for a translator? What becomes possible? @0xMasonH breaks it down in our latest blog post. Link below.
Merit Systems retweeted
The x402 eco has an incredible dashboard built by @merit_systems called @x402scan!
This tool leverages @CoinbaseDev's
▫️Data API
▫️Embedded Wallets
▫️Onramp
I used Composer to show how you can leverage @firecrawl_dev's endpoint to scrape the internet for news, and then how you could use that information to create a custom video or image, even as a multi-tool operation with an Agent.
