SKALE School: Agents & Finance, What’s Real vs What’s Fluff? x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Agent standards only matter if they can operate at scale. ERC-8004 is officially live on SKALE! Brought forward by the @ethereum Foundation’s dAI team this new standard for trustless AI agents is a major milestone. Here is how we power this new agent-to-agent framework 🧵

Transactions shouldn’t execute unless conditions are met! RecoverAI uses real world data via x402 to decide when claims are valid. BITE enforces conditional execution with encrypted transactions. Nothing happens until it’s proven.

If you are building in the crypto x ai crossover -- would recommend giving this a listen or asking your agent(s) to transcribe and summarize. A lot of ideas related to critical grasp that need to be filled.

x402 Weekly Wrap and Thoughts #14 A crazy big week for x402, agents, and more broadly AI. Here are some highlights and thoughts from me: Highlights - The @CoinbaseDev team updated the official x402 Python SDK to add support for x402 v2 - A wave of teams and experiments around refunds and x402 dropped including @X402Refunds who is now powering @heurist_ai and @dexteraisol - @1shotapi dropped @1shotpay which includes embedded x402 payment processing (super cool) - @httpayer hosted an incredible workshop (x.com/TheGreatAxios/…) showcasing x402 payments for data scientists using @corbits_dev facilitator and making payments on @SkaleNetwork but settling on @base and @solana - @zauthx402 filed for a patent covering their core infrastructure which is focused on building trust for crypto and AI - ERC-8004 is getting closer to mainnet. With that comes more and more interest in the cross-over with x402 - @blocmates dropped their 2026 thesis which features a section on x402. A really good read covering a lot of ground. - @OpenMid_ launched their evaluator a couple of days ago which helps with API rankings. Could be a start to more dynamic discovery? - @beskay0x PRd to EIP-3009 Forwarder contract adding smart account capabilities. This is another step forward for making it possible to use more than just USDC and EURC for x402 across most EVM Chains. Interested in more options? SKALE on Base has support for USDC, USDT, WETH, and WBTC -- all x402 compatible without forwarding. - @SkaleNetwork has seen an explosive rise in agentic projects with new additions in @PayAINetwork @NuwaDev @corbits_dev on the facilitator front, a number of merchants onboarding adding support including @credprotocol @functionland and text merchant.com. Plus various protocols and teams adding support or launching on top like @Readia_io HTTPayer @HashgraphOnline @astrasyncai and many more! + tons of awesome launches, demos and more. A reminder that if you want to be included; tag me or DM me. The AI Crypto space is growing like crazy and there is a LOT of ground to cover so I can't see everything by myself. Some Thoughts and Ideas #1 - Human-in-the-Loop Agents vs Autonomous Resource Agents It feels more and more relevant to me that there is becoming a split in where different types of agents make sense. Hindsight is 20/20 -- this was probably here the whole time I just didn't identify it right away. While I think there is a case for autonomous agents in e-commerce, it feels far more likely that that this will be driven by human-centric adoption and approval first. Why? I don't need to "save time" with an automatic ordering of a new T-Shirt or pair of jeans (just doesn't do it for me). However, let's look "under the hood". The pickaxes and shovels of an agent swarm or agentic flow to find a product, compare it, verify if it's the right fit, and propose it requires more than you may think. The relevance to the title of this thought is that agents that are driven by humans are the now. So how do we empower these with autonomous agents? My proposal is to consider what the goal of an agent or agentic system is, where it fits into the workflow or system, and then how to properly implement it to match. Example: "I need a new pair of boots to replace my 5 year old pair of @Timberland's" If I ask this on ChatGPT it does a pretty good job of sourcing options, giving me buying tips, style information, etc. However -- it just gave me new Timberland options. It did not: - Go explore and scrape reviews (it just leans on "Best of Rankings, unreliable") - Offer advice on "returns" based on possible preferences or memories - Go do some basic scraping on my identity to determine what I do and what I may want boots for TL;DR - it used generic information NOT curated information. Why is this relevant? AI augments and enhances, but in this case I received pretty much the same response as if I were going to go to Google. So for a product like @OpenAI's ChatGPT to enhance this experience for me; more data would be better. Now they did recently add shopping mode but it was so slow I couldn't stand it. I would rather see parallelized usage so I can still get a response in 3-10s than 60s+. Looking more digital, another great example would be Claude Code. With the increase in usage across verticals there is a huge opportunity to bring more resources in dynamically. This in turn could drive more autonomous loops that "automatically" pickup the best tools and pay for them. TL;DR - agents driven by humans can benefit the most right now from more data and parallelizing complex processes which in turn may be more "autonomous" agents that just run when called. #2 - Supply Can Drive Demand An interesting thought process around x402 is that merchants serving data and raw resources are simple building blocks i.e the pickaxes and shovels. These are a necessity. We need more inference, more data providers, more tools. However, agents that run based on triggers i.e Agentic APIs can also be building blocks for other agents. This is part of the core idea with ERC-8004; however can be simplified with x402. If I have an agent that is tuned to do X -- e.g writing blog posts, solidity audits, etc -- I can sell that as an API endpoint on the bazaar. Additionally, since those agents can in turn use x402 to source the best resources possible i.e cheapest compute, sandboxes, etc the supply directly drives the demand. #3 - Sandboxes and x402 I don't have much here yet, but feel like I'm very clearly missing something. Sandboxes will either be a standardized primitive for all agent stacks or will die as a short term fad. I'm leaning toward the former and am curious to see how developers begin to explore the use of ultra-lightweight sandboxes capable of spinning up in milliseconds to secure their agents and merchant endpoints running untrusted customer requests in production. Anyone selling sandboxes via x402, please reach out. #4 - Just Enough Privacy x402 and blockchains don't require a hard port to privacy in my opinion. Not every chain needs to be a hardcore privacy chain, in fact most probably should not go near it. However, a touch of confidentiality could go a long way. Expect to see -- especially with cross-chain x402 settlement becoming a thing -- more and more payments to occur on SKALE where they can be encrypted until execution, buying more time for consumer and agent proaction, or balances to start becoming encrypted adhering to societal norms re payments. Thanks for reading -- if you're building in x402, agents, ERC-8004, MCP, or AI make sure to comment on this and share what you're building. DM if you want support bringing it to SKALE!

Crypto is transparent, too transparent🫥 Payments should not come with public wallet shame!
