While the nonstop crypto news cycle makes it easy to see these as isolated developments, they're actually interlocking pieces of a new foundation for machine-driven commerce. This week’s announcements of the x402 Foundation and Cloudflare's NET Dollar complete this picture, creating a full stack that could fundamentally change how AI agents interact with the web.
