AI Summary
→ WHAT IT COVERS Four speakers explore crypto's agentic future through x402 payment standard, AI-MEV intersection, real-time ZK proving capabilities, and monetary network topology analysis. → KEY INSIGHTS - **X402 Payment Standard:** Internet-native payments using HTTP 402 error code enable AI agents to transact globally without KYC, credit cards, or centralized payment processors like Stripe or PayPal. - **Bot Market Design:** Use explicit price-based auctions instead of latency or random ordering to resolve bot competition - prevents spam while channeling competitive forces into user benefits. - **Real-time ZK Proving:** Brevis achieves 6.9-second Ethereum block proving with 64 GPUs, enabling 100x scaling by converting blockchain computation from replication-based to verification-based consensus models. - **Monetary Network Topology:** Stablecoin networks create single points of failure despite decentralized blockchains - Tether/Circle centralization contradicts distributed computing infrastructure we build beneath them. → NOTABLE MOMENT Michael demonstrates how computing historical trading volume on-chain remains prohibitively expensive even on cheapest layer-2s, explaining why no DEX offers basic VIP fee discounts. 💼 SPONSORS [{"name": "mZero", "url": "mzero.org"}, {"name": "Uniswap Labs", "url": "uniswap.org"}, {"name": "Mantle", "url": "mantlenetwork.io"}, {"name": "Coinbase", "url": "coinbase.com"}, {"name": "Eight Sleep", "url": "8sleep.com"}, {"name": "Frax", "url": "frax.com"}] 🏷️ AI Agents, Zero Knowledge Proofs, Payment Infrastructure, Monetary Networks
