nyc pizza shop has no idea that they sold to a CLANKER i was craving a cheeky pie so i built an agent to send me one little bro launches a browser, finds to a nearby pizza shop, reads the menu, picks an item, generates a virtual card, and places the order. 100% onchain, i didn’t have to touch any stinky api keys or log into any websites loaded a wallet on Tempo and it: - pays for its own brain (anthropic api calls) through Machine Payments Protocol micropayments - pays for its own @browserbasehq stagehand sessions - buys a virtual card with USDC through AgentCash and Laso Finance - types that card into Stripe checkout like how a human would an agent doesn't need a card or an email or frankly even its own compute. give it a wallet and it’ll figure out how to buy things and serve you (repo coming soon, need to clean it up)

so tired of wasting my time clicking through terrible dashboards and UIs i strongly believe that everything should work directly from your agent so we built @lifi/cli for devs and agents who need access to onchain infra without navigating a ui everyone's been shipping mcp servers for onchain actions. and frankly, we did too. but i believe that a cli is even better for many uses cases it's less setup, more token efficient, works in any terminal, container, or ci pipeline and not just claude, codex or cursor. now you can swap, bridge, deposit, and literally anything else onchain from your terminal. ‘npx @lifi/cli chains’ to start

last week i spent 45 minutes funding my agents. x402 needs a Base wallet Machine Payments Protocol needs a Tempo wallet lobster cash (Crossmint) needs a solana wallet but none of these frameworks help you get money there. they assume you'll just figure it out. so i built Kibble. a skill that teaches your agent how to ask for funds. it sends you a payment link, you pick whatever token you have, and LI.FI routes it to the agent's wallet. feed your agent with any token, on any chain.

my favourite use case for LI.FI intents: stablecoin payments global financial institutions are ready to adopt crypto rails, but the major problem is that fees are unpredictable. for any business rolling this out to customers who aren't used to crypto complexity, that's a dealbreaker. Intents solves this with deterministic stablecoin swaps. send 100 USDC, receive exactly 100 USDT - without slippage or surprise fees. 1 USD = 1 USD, regardless of the stablecoin. that's the UX enterprises need before they can start using crypto.

some news: CatalystSystem has been acquired by LI.FI i’ll be joining to lead their new intents team with the goal of connecting all chains (EVM and altVMs) truly permissionlessly — with my cofounder Alexander and the Catalyst team coming along for the ride i couldn’t find the words to fully articulate all the emotions i’ve felt during this process — so I figured i'd make a video instead lol TLDR; i’m damn proud of what we’ve built and the team that we’ve assembled. thank you to my amazing team to getting us this far. thank you to all of our customers who relied on Catalyst and CrossCats to fulfil their cross-chain needs these past 2 years. thank you to all who believed in me — who trusted in my vision for rollups back in 2022 and who continued to trust me about altVMs. ~~~ “if you want to go fast go alone, if you want to go far go together” the stakes have never been higher. it’s become obvious that interoperablility is the single most important problem we face in crypto — a massive roadblock to breaking into the mainstream. the problem space is so large, and I knew we couldn’t do it alone. so we made the hard decision to team up with LI.FI to solve this issue — and I believe that we’re on the cusp of fixing the whole damn thing. we’re building 2.0 — the most ambitious project I have ever been and will ever be a part of. more details on it below. onwards 🫡

"there's too many f**king bridges, i just wanna move shit from chain A to B" me too yo 🫂 that's why i made: just type the chains you need, and you'll get ALL the bridges that support that route the best part? i didn't write a single line of code. made this ALL in AI in < 24 hours using: - claude (design) - v0 + replit (frontend) - airtable + zapier (backend) - cursor (integration) wanted to push the boundaries on what can be made only using AI, and i haven't even scratched the surface lmk if you want me to go through my complete workflow, will be making even more stuff in the coming weeks 🫡
