Stableminded, a financial podcast covering founders on the frontier. Long form, founder-focused. All about modern money. New episode drops next week. Ep. 45 - @cnaut, CTO at @raincards Ep. 46 - @louisamira, building @atxp_ai Ep. 47 - @nvs. CEO at @infinite Presented by @altitude Hosted by @drewrogers EP: 0045-47 SF, USA

you know tsai conf is going to be good when these are the catalyst sponsors... @workos / @getsentry / @copilotkit / @TryArcade / @atxp_ai (circuit & chisel) / @assistantui / @graphite / @Vapi_AI nov 6 in sf: tsconf.ai

.@louisamira led Crypto & AI Partnerships at @stripe for three years. He helped shape the strategy behind the Bridge and Privy acquisitions, then left to co-found Circuit & Chisel and build @atxp_ai - the HTTP for agentic payments. A few months later, Stripe invested. In this week's Stableminded, we cover: - Why payments were supposed to be built into the internet in the 90s and banks killed it - The first time an AI agent emailed their support team on its own - Why most retailers aren't ready for agent traffic to replace human traffic - What Stripe's no-slides culture taught him about building a company - Why stablecoins are the only payment method that actually works for agents Full conversation tomorrow. Presented by @altitude

.@louisamira's reaction when his team first tested Claude's computer use capabilities "How can I just toss my laptop to an AI intern, my personal laptop that has work stuff and personal, and be like go do these things? That was scary." To fix this, his team at @atxp_ai built agent environments hosted in the cloud. This approach provides an isolated workspace, giving the intern an apartment over the garage rather than letting them sleep inside your house.

Best Multi-Protocol Agent 
Build an agent that bridges multiple payment protocols. 
Prize: $10,000 in ATXP credits Sponsor: @atxp_ai

8 new bounties in the Solana x402 Hackathon were just added 🔥 From @Visa, @Phantom, @coinbase, and more below👇

"Nobody is going to make money in the protocol layer." @louisamira raised $19M for @atxp_ai saying exactly this. "X402 Foundation is basically a charity. They're not making any money at that layer. They are very intentionally making this free. HTTP is free. It is meant to be a protocol so that you can do other interesting things with it." "Investors didn't love when we told them we are experts, we're making a protocol, it is not going to make any money. They were like, you're not supposed to tell investors that." "I'm not going to lie to you. We will never lie to our investors and we're going to be pretty vocal out there that you shouldn't be investing in this sort of thing. You need to have the what comes next conversation."

1/ @atxp_ai is building financial infrastructure for agents. With ATXP, agents can do more than research and reason. They can pay for datasets, subscribe to tools, and purchase services on their own. Here's how Privy has enabled ATXP to provision over 1 million agent accounts.

New episode of Open Intelligence with @_rishinsharma: @louisamira, co-founder and CEO of Circuit & Chisel, shares his journey in AI x crypto, building innovative agent protocols like @atxp_ai In this clip Louis gives a live demo of ATXP Music Check out the full episode 👇

BREAKING: @atxp_ai moves to x402 and MPP on Solana, topping the agentic commerce leaderboards. 5,000 users leverage two or more ATXP products, and the protocol recently crossed 1 million transactions.
