I didn't know about x402 when I gave this talk on open data last week at @usv x @neynar but this is a big boost forward. The world is inexorably moving from an era of closed data to an era of open data. With *or* without the permission of web2. The challengers will embrace openness and with protocols like x402, they will be able to monetize and enrich small scale data more easily. The monopolies will oppose openness, but as in the talk, that's a losing strategy in the medium+ term. Very excited to use the x402 standard across Icebreaker. https://www.coinbase.com/developer-platform/discover/launches/x402

Hiring superpowers: "Icebreaker, watch for anyone in my superstars list who posts anything online suggesting they're looking for a job" Staying ahead of the curve: "icebreaker sign me up for all the best newsletters and local events that my friends/colleagues recommend and deliver a daily audio summary in my podcast feed" Being a resource for my network: "icebreaker make my clone available 24/7 for advice & mentoring to anyone in my trusted network" All of these can be dramatically improved by having programmatic and on-demand access to arbitrary data enrichment, feeds, and agents from other sources.

okay cool, that all makes sense to me from a programmatic element, but where does the x402 standard come in if it effectively toggles on or off a monetization layer?

Each use case above requires purchasing specific data from a bunch of sites to do it well Eg get me all the content for my co-founder @j4ck.eth across x, substack, Spotify, SoundCloud, OpenSea, etc The data is not expensive but it’s also not free and it’s annoying to cobble together as an application. Much much easier if we can use just-in-time microtransactions facilitated thru AI vs designing individual integrations
