$VIRTUAL The future of payments no longer relies solely on us, but on AI agents and the crypto infrastructure is the missing piece for this to work. Jesse Pollak, the creator of the Base network, explains that if AI is software, it needs money that is also software to operate freely.
Here's the lowdown on this evolution:
Imagine your AI assistant needs to buy data, book a flight, or pay for computing power. Thanks to the x402 protocol developed by Coinbase along with giants like Google, Microsoft, and Mastercard, it can now do so autonomously. About $48 million has already been transacted under this system, and the vast majority of those transactions are happening on the Base network because it's fast and nearly free.
The best part is that the goal is for this to be invisible. You won’t have to deal with technical processes; you’ll just see the results while the AI manages payments in the background through smart contracts. This protocol is already part of the Linux Foundation, meaning it will be an open standard for the entire internet, also backed by companies like Stripe and AWS.
AI is no longer just giving us advice, it now has its own digital wallet to carry out tasks for us 24/7.
Would you give control of a small digital wallet to your AI to manage your subscriptions or purchases for you?
