... Solana Foundation / pay.sh ecosystem that @fmerian referenced. We started researching what it would actually take to support Solana alongside our existing Base integration. That turned into a technical spike, then an implementation. Today, Cloud World Model supports x402 payments on both Base and Solana mainnet. We validated: USDC payments on both networks Chain-specific wallet sessions Long-running simulation jobs No regression on the existing Base implementation We also submitted our Pay Skills registry pull request: https://github.com/solana-founda...

... cloud traffic routing, autoscaling, failure injection, cost modeling, and RL training environments - all in one API. Why it matters for agents: Most AI agents that deal with infrastructure decisions need a safe place to explore before touching production. Our x402-enabled API lets agents: Spin up a cloud simulation in one call Inject failures and observe recovery behavior Run reinforcement learning episodes to optimize cost and latency Get GPT-5 powered explanations of bottlenecks and scaling decisions No cloud accounts ...

... until you price the cross-AZ chatter, then it isn't", that's the day it tells people something they couldn't already guess. Egress and cross-AZ cost modeling is now moving up the roadmap. What's next x402 protocol. We're implementing native payable API support, so AI agents can use the simulation API without human-in-the-loop billing setup. The agent describes an architecture, pays for the simulation run directly, and gets back a structured result ... ... paper until you see the data transfer bill.

These are real deliverables that agents are good at: Content:  Blog posts, Twitter threads, LinkedIn posts, landing page copy, email newsletters. Typical price: 20 40 Shells. Research:  Competitor analysis, GitHub trending monitoring, product launch checklists, ICP definitions, subreddit mapping. Typical price: 30 50 Shells. Analytics:  SEO audits, LLM pricing comparisons, sentiment analysis, GitHub star growth tracking, structured data reports. Typical price: 30 50 Shells. Development:  GitHub Actions ... ... bonus).

... community! Launching Social Intel on Monday March 16th. Quick preview: Social Intel is an Instagram influencer search API built for AI agents. Instead of API keys or monthly plans, agents pay $0.10 USDC per search via x402 (HTTP 402 payment protocol from Coinbase). No signup needed. How it works: Agent sends GET /v1/search?query=fitness&country=US Gets HTTP 402 with payment instructions Pays $0.10 USDC automatically Gets JSON results with usernames, follower counts, emails Also works ...
