My Claude Code just bought me products using my crypto wallet. Exploring agentic crypto payments; Stripe's MPP x WalletConnect Pay. Here is demo that my agent uses Machine Payment Protocol and any crypto wallet WalletConnect implemented to buy things. WalletConnect powers 700+ crypto wallets and millions of users -... an incredible opportunity to extend that ecosystem into agentic payments. With our Agent SDK, agents can use WalletConnect as the connection layer and WalletConnect Pay as the payments layer. Here is simply how it works: It searches through the products using the MPP endpoint > initializes payment with WalletConnect Pay API > asks me to connect my wallet via QR > asks me to sign my payment > polls the payment and shows me the result. Agentic payments are new and there are many new protocols and uses cases to discover especially crypto involved . See below for WCP & Agent SDK docs and repo.show more

We moved $7.8bn last week in stablecoins alone. People want to use their crypto. But payments are still complex for users and merchants - too many clicks, too many wallets, too many chains, too many assets, compliance, refunds, interoperability, fx etc etc etc. WalletConnect Pay is making this delightful - to PSPs with our simple single integration to offer crypto payments to merchants - to users with our 1 click payment experience from any WalletConnect enabled wallet. Below is today’s experience - it works - but now the team is cooking right now to make this 100x better in 2026.

I asked my clawdbot to send a letter to me in the mail… and it actually did it. I gave it a crypto wallet and some USDC to make purchases with, and clawdbot went and read the agent documentation on postalform. It figured out how to draft an order with a PDF of the letter it wrote to me – then it used Stripe’s Purl cli and paid for the order using Stripe's new Machine Payments protocol. This is a huge step forward for real-world agentic task completion and commerce

Payments are one of the significant use cases for crypto, but we still have a way to go in terms of adoption from both consumers and merchants. There are a few startups working on building scalable products to encourage consumers to use crypto for payments. Purple Pay 💜 is a promising startup that has taken a unique approach to drive merchants towards crypto payments by providing them with a compliant layer for their consumers. In the 49th episode of Cryptopod, I had a conversation with Saumya Saxena to discuss crypto payments and how Purple Pay is striving to disrupt this space. Podcast link in comment.

Crypto adoption doesn’t happen because people suddenly become technical, It happens when the experience starts to feel familiar. That’s the shift I’m talking about in this video. From simply connecting wallets to enabling seamless real-world payments, WalletConnect is quietly reducing friction and making crypto interactions feel as natural as scanning a code or approving a tap-to-pay request. It’s not about hype, I t’s about usability and that’s where real progress happens.

So far, machine payments have mostly been about businesses accepting stablecoins. And stablecoins are great (cross-border, low cost, etc.)! But much of the planet is holding a card. 🤖 💳 🌎 Here’s a 📺 sneak peek demo from Steve Kaliski of how a business can programmatically accept cards via agents. As an example: Stripe Climate is a way to contribute to carbon removal funding. Stripe Climate implemented the Machine Payments Protocol using the Stripe API, so agents can make micropayment donations ( In addition to accepting stablecoin (specifically usdc on Tempo), agents can now pay with fiat methods, namely cards and Link (and soon buy-now-pay-laters) via Shared Payment Tokens (SPTs), using the same Machine Payments Protocol integration. Human buyers, their agents, and businesses each have their own preferred methods of payment. Humans often already have a card. Agents may prefer stablecoins. Businesses tend to want to accept any form of payment, as long as it is high conversion, low fraud, and properly priced. For microtransactions, stablecoins are a low-cost way (no fixed card fee) to transact. But if you want to tell your agent to donate $100 on your behalf, a card may be the preferred solution. If you’re a business and want to accept machine payments, whether over stablecoins, cards, Link, or other future methods, read about Shared Payment Tokens ( and sign up for our machine payments private preview: And stay tuned: more to make it easy for consumers, agents, and businesses to transact, shipping over the next few weeks. (And excuse the acronyms and specifics terms, there's a lot of new infrastructure and primitives being built to support agentic commerce.)

FUND YOUR CRYPTO CARD WITH ZKX Wallet | The Secure and Private Wallet 🗽, POWERED BY RAILGUN The biggest issue with crypto cards is that transactions are public and on-chain. If you fund your crypto card directly from your self-custody wallet, anyone can potentially trace the transaction and link it back to your wallet. Imagine paying for a coffee, while the merchant can potentially see your wallet history and how much crypto you hold. That’s not great for financial privacy. With ZKX Wallet | The Secure and Private Wallet 🗽, you can unshield your funds to your crypto card without creating an on-chain trail that directly links the card payment back to your original wallet. In this example, we funded our ether.fi card using ZKX Wallet | The Secure and Private Wallet 🗽. Spend privately. Keep your wallet private. 🛡️

You can now give your agent a Ramp card and let it buy from businesses on Stripe via Machine Payments Protocol! In this demo, I show how a business owner could use Codex to buy wine for a few top customers: - My agent helps me find my most engaged customers using the Stripe MCP and our CRM notes. - It finds Martin Estate in the Stripe Directory and recommends wine within my budget. - I approve the purchase, and it pays with a Ramp card via MPP!

My agent is now paying for its own data. No API key. No account. No credit card. Check the video I recorded. This uses the x402 open protocol built by Coinbase, along with a simple skill. This is an open protocol governed by the Linux Foundation. To complete a goal, an agent can now search for an actor on the Apify Store, pay for it, and use it without any human intervention. The way it works is pretty simple: 1. Your agent finds an Actor it wants to use 2. It sends a request 3. The Actor sends back an HTTP 402 "Payment Required" response 4. Agent authorizes payment from a wallet in USDC on Base 5. The Actor runs 6. User receives the result The model is pay-as-you-go: the agent authorizes a spending ceiling, pays only for usage, and the remaining balance is automatically settled. This brings an entire marketplace of AI tools into the agentic economy. Here is the skill you need. Add it to your agent, and it will take care of everything for you: If you want to know how this works, including what you can do with $1, read this post: Thanks to the Apify team for partnering with me on this post.

Inside Stripe's MPP IRL: machine payments, stablecoins, and the future of agent commerce. Agents are starting to pay for things on their own: API calls, services, each other. Nobody's agreed on how that should work. This panel was three takes on it. Jen (Stripe) leads product for Machine Payments — the open standard for how agents pay for things. Dan Romero (Tempo) is building stablecoin payment rails, and thinks that's what agent commerce runs on, not cards. Michael Blau (Royal) magician turned a16z Crypto partner turned CTO is exploring programmable money for creators, and why the demand side is barely here yet. We got into: • Why HTTP 402, a status code from the early web, is suddenly the backbone of agent payments • Why Dan thinks a credit card is a private key and why stablecoins are safer for agents • Where stablecoins actually win first • Whether you should build for agent payments now or wait • Why the demand side is "virtually nonexistent" and what that means if you're building 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐒 (00:00) Event Kickoff JEN LEE — Product Lead, Stripe (00:44) What the Machine Payments Protocol Is (01:28) How MPP Works — the HTTP 402 Payment Challenge (03:25) Adoption So Far: ~30,000 Transactions (04:04) Building Trust — Shared Tokens & the Link Agent Wallet (05:56) What the Creator Economy Looks Like When the Audience Is Agents (07:15) What She Was Certain About at 22 That's Now Wrong DAN ROMERO — GTM, Tempo (08:34) Meet Dan (08:49) Why Stablecoins, and the Genius Act Tailwind (09:48) "A Credit Card Is Basically a Private Key" (11:19) Should Every Company Be Thinking About MPP?
