It’s been incredible to see x402 go viral this week!
For anyone new, welcome to the movement.
I designed x402 to be the HTTP of money: a universally accepted, neutral, core primitive to help make the internet ready for the AI era.
I can’t wait to see what people build 🛠️

Kind of. I use Claude and codex hosted on a remote dev box (exe.dev) with schedules and the ability to ping me when I’m away. When I’m working (most of the time these days) I access that dev box via orca and typically have 3-5 sessions running.
It’s kind of an emergent personal assistant harness customized to how I like to work.

impressive result on JevBench
On JevBench, Sage1 scores better on accuracy than other System1 models, with a similar median latency.
When multi-step reasoning is required, Sage has 93% accuracy vs. 71% for other System1 models.
Sage is smart enough to know when to be fast and when to think step by step, covering both System1 and System2.
When Sage activates reasoning, it takes on average 3X longer to decide.

The crypto x ai bears are missing the whole point.
The bull case for x402:
- digital goods (i.e., data) and services (i.e., SaaS) are often gated behind paywalls or at least a sign up
- this adds friction to an agent using these as it goes after a goal
- x402 makes everything permissionless and agent-discoverable. agents only need to buy what they’re using.
- as agents start to easily discover x402 services, SaaS providers will be incentivized to add their services behind payment gateways to tap into agent distribution
- this becomes a massive flywheel — a true permissionless network of everything in the digital world (and eventually will tap into meat space with robotics and meat proxies)
- if we do this right it can create an autopilot agent economy that gives us more abundance than we could even imagine
Permissionless commercialization + micropayments need crypto.
