Shan Aggarwal(@ShanAggarwal):payments are the last broken layer of the internet. we have open protocols for data, for email, and for identity. but paying for something online still requires stitching together closed, proprietary systems that were never designed for machines. today that changes with the x402 foundation. @coinbase created x402, a standard that embeds payments directly into http and now we're moving it to the linux foundation with @Cloudflare, @stripe, and 20+ of the biggest names in tech and finance. agents are going to buy, sell, and transact on our behalf. they will need a payment rail that's open, interoperable, and doesn't require a human clicking confirm purchase. that's x402, and now it's governed by the community.
