The checkout button is dying.
AI agents will discover, compare, and buy products on behalf of their users. With @agentcardai, we’re giving developers the identity, wallet, and one-time-use @Mastercard credentials to make that happen anywhere Mastercard is accepted online.
Another signal that commerce is becoming programmable.
Mastercard plans to roll out an agentic payment option this week for everyday purchases, through a partnership with the startup Alchemy on.wsj.com/4d9hZj9

AI agents will create new economic primitives for the internet.
I joined @twifintech Crossing the Chasm to discuss x402, real-time payments, and what changes when agents can pay directly for the data, APIs, and services they need. Thanks for having me on Justin.
Listen here or anywhere you catch your podcasts: thisweekinfintechpodcast.buz…
Could x402 reinvent the economics of the internet?
For decades, much of the internet has relied on two models: advertising or subscriptions.
But what happens when more internet traffic comes from AI agents than humans?
In Episode 4 of Crossing the Chasm, Justin Friedman is joined by @BlakeCDuncan, Lead Agent Experience Engineer at @Alchemy, to look at how the rise of AI agents could reshape the way online products and services make money.
AI agents don't see ads, and they don't interact with the internet in the same way we do. As more online activity becomes agent-driven, businesses may need an entirely new way to charge for access to information, products and services.
That's where protocols like x402 come in.
On Crossing the Chasm, Blake explores how x402 could enable AI agents to pay for what they need in real time, opening the door to a more usage-based internet economy and new ways for merchants and online businesses to monetize what they offer.
The economics of the internet could look very different when the customer isn't always human.
Episode 4 of Crossing the Chasm is live now. Listen in wherever you get your podcasts or via the link in the comments below.

😱 "Don't worry, just give me your money."
...that's what agentic commerce sounds like to a lot of people.
87% of payments leaders say trust is the biggest barrier to agentic payments (not the rails).
So before you hand an agent a wallet, ask this question 🧵

Last weeks gym x agent story has a very real lesson: agents are getting remarkably good at finding the gaps in a product!
(TLDR; an agent found an unprotected “cancel reservation” API and used it to move its user up the waitlist 😅)

🕰️ One day, @SolanaFndn came to us and said...
"Solana builders would like time travel".
So we built it.
Solana Account Archive answers getAccountInfo for any account at any historical slot.
Dive into the past, build the future.

The response to time travel was resounding: builders love it 🔥🔥
So we’re expanding Solana Account Archive to two endpoints - getBalance and getTokenAccountBalance.
Now builders can do what they do best: build the future, access the past, only with Alchemy 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

Onchain projects used to start the same way:
Open a dashboard, copy an API key, paste a private key into .env, npm install 3 SDKs. Then you write the line you came for.
The Alchemy CLI fixes that into one command surface.
Here's 12 things you can do faster 👇

Claude Code can write the code that talks to a blockchain. Then it guesses the RPC method to call, invents the response, and can't check a balance, a price, or what a tx actually did 🤨
One command fixes that.
Set up Claude Code with Alchemy in 60 seconds. Ready, set, go 👇

“The developer we’re building for has evolved.”
@0xmts talks with @romainhuet about the new builder mindset, where ideas can move from thought to working software faster than before.

I just gave an AI Agent $10k.. and it's all up for grabs for anyone watching.
Just made an inbox called "freemoney@agentmail(.)to"
If you email and convince the agent, it might give you an @agentcardai worth thousands (!!!)
What are you waiting for? Go try your luck!!
