Over at @coinbasedev we just dropped @x402, an open standard for payments on the internet.

Why does this matter?
- Paying for things on the internet sucks
- API keys are terrible UX for AI agents
- fees are too high

x402 makes paying 3 clicks, kills API keys via pay per request, and has 0 fees.

All of your crypto. All of your wallets. All in one place. Your home for everything onchain. wallet.coinbase.com

The Coinbase Developer Platform faucet just got a major upgrade:

→ Multi-chain support
→ Multi-token support
→ Available via UI or API

Let’s break it down 👇

Neynar

we've long been building for the machines

/neynar is now usable without any account or API keys, just call the API and pay with a crypto wallet on a per request basis

this is in test phase right now so our _free_ API endpoints are now open on Base Sepolia, will get enabled for all our endpoints over the next couple months

h/t @quazia spearheading this on our side and thanks to @programmer and @nemild for the work on x402 side, excited to do more here

First x402 demo in the wild. Amazing work by the Neynar team 👏
If you want to enable fully autonomous payments for your API without any API keys, DM me.

Excited to be in CD Pod today with @yuga @programmer !

Thrilled to announce that @programmer is joining @coinbasedev as our new Head of Engineering. With Erik’s leadership, we’re doubling down on making it frictionless to build onchain. 1M developers. 1B users. Onchain. Let’s go. 🔥

Yesterday was my first day back @coinbase as Head of Engineering for @CoinbaseDev. I'm super excited for another tour of duty working with an amazing team to bring the next million developers onchain.

While @zora I learned first hand that developer tools have a long way to go, and I strongly feel @CoinbaseDev can meaningfully accelerate developers building onchain.

Builders: reach out, my DM's are open, how can we help you?

The current crop of crypto ai agents feel like they're fundamentally missing something to me.
There's something there, but why are all these projects moving to frameworks and why are charts the most prominent thing you see on agent pages?

Anyone wanna hack on some exexs tomorrow? 

My very smooth brain idea is exex + tonbo = real time parquet datalake for onchain data, but down for whatever

Funemployment going well, finally broke 90, next up 85 😎

Yesterday was my last day as head of engineering @zora. Its been an absolutely privilege working with @tyson @jacob @dee and the rest of the team for the last 2.5 years.
I'll be moving back to Vancouver to take some time off to explore and be closer to family. If you're in Vancouver tech I'd love to connect.

Zora

we have some new decentralized infra for premints, any developers interested in testing it out?

wild how many of the new followers I have just straight up say they're trying to airdrop farm in their bio

Scaling spiky consumer apps is hard, shoutout to the Warpcast team for being quick to respond when record traffic hits

Apple Vision Pro

So far the laptop connect mode is my favorite feature, the ultimate portable work setup

I still have no idea why I didn’t qualify for degen airdrop 1 and at this point I’m too lazy to figure it out
