Solana Foundation is proud to join the x402 Foundation as a founding member:
“Open payment standards like @x402 are the starting point for building an agentic economy. As it scales, the importance of permissionless, scalable payment rails becomes evident, and we are focused on solving these problems on Solana.”
– @_rishinsharma, Head of AI Growth, @SolanaFndn

AWS and Cloudflare have quietly turned on a new option for any publisher running on their infrastructure: the server can return an x402 payment code instead of a flat 404 when an AI bot hits their content.
.@_rishinsharma, Head of AI Growth at @Solana Foundation, breaks down what that unlocks:
"Say I have a blog, and it's hosted on AWS Bedrock, and I just write about financial data or something like that. By default, AWS will block bot traffic. So if they detect someone is a bot, they'll just block that traffic. If someone from an LLM is trying to get something I've written about, it'll just return a 404. It can return a 402, I can put in a wallet address, and I can actually get paid and monetize that traffic."
His read on why subscriptions already lost this audience:
"I think for content publishers, this is gonna be a new way for them to reach an audience, because two, three years ago, I was subscribed to a ton of Substacks, where I was paying for a couple of them too. It felt like a way to get alpha. Now I can't imagine, I don't wanna open my email and go to a Substack, and maybe this is an attention deficit thing, but I can't even read long form content. What's the important part? Skip to that one."

Your Agents on Solana can now search the web!
Exa Search + Contents now support x402 payments in USDC on Solana, no API key required.
One of my least favorite things about claude is that it can't access Reddit data
Now I can pay $0.01 with stables and get results directly from r/SF. Pay-per-request is the way!

Vishwa is now #1# on x402scan across the marketplace and server leaderboards.
The agent economy is no longer waiting for payment rails.
Agents are already managing money.
Executing prediction market strategies.
Allocating treasury capital.
Routing payments and FX.
The challenge isn’t getting agents to act,
It’s enabling probabilistic foundation models to execute deterministic financial tasks within their mandates.
Agent banking infrastructure is starting to emerge on Solana.
Agents decide.
Vishwa enforces.
@solana settles capital.

has been great to work with Mastercard on designing Agent Pay
lots of problems to solve at the payments / settlement layer before agentic commerce can scale. stables will be at the crux of how agents spend

As AI agents begin to act, payments move into the background — at machine speed and massive scale.
Today we’re introducing Mastercard Agent Pay for Machines — bringing structure, governance, and trust to this new class of payments.
Launching with 30+ partners to bring this to life from day one.
This isn’t just more payments. It’s a new operating model for commerce.

Had a great time presenting on @x402 with @_rishinsharma from @solana today.
We covered why x402 matters for agents:
- discovering paid tool calls at request time
- bundling multiple tools into one workflow
- reasoning about marginal cost per call
- running workflows that can both earn and spend in the same runtime
We closed with a live demo using Claude Code + @CoinbaseDev AWAL:
Claude Code searched the latest social/news context around the NY Knicks, turned it into a brief, and generated a video with StableStudio from @merit_systems.
Very fun glimpse of where agentic commerce is heading.

99% of October / November volume originated on x402scan, our marketplace.
These were not agentic payments, they were speculators pumping and dumping memecoins.
Ignore the peak, compare pre Oct-25 to Apr-26. Now doubling month over month.
