PayAI Network | x402 Facilitator

25 AI agent launches this month. Most of them had nothing to do with making agents smarter. By my count, 10 were about letting agents pay, prove who they are, or stay inside limits. x402 came up twice for payments. x401 came up for identity. Agents are getting a wallet, an ID and a leash. Here's the full list. (Save this) MONEY
Agents can pay now. Making sure they pay for the right thing is the harder bit. @selfxyz launched Agent Vault so agents can log in and pay by credit card.
@evervault launched Browser Tokens, so agents and browser tools can pay and log in without exposing sensitive data.
@verona_dev introduced verUSD, billed as the first stablecoin for AI agents.
@PayAINetwork took x402 batch settlement live on Solana.
@ankr added x402 support, so any agent with a wallet can pay USDC per call for blockchain data. IDENTITY AND LIMITS
Who is this agent, and what's it allowed to touch? Five teams went after that. @proof launched x401, which verifies an agent's identity and that it's authorized to act for a human.
@autonolas added Know Your Agent (KYA) to the Olas Marketplace as a security and evaluation check.
@ava_protocol launched agent permissions, so you can automate DeFi actions without giving an agent full access to your private keys.
@OpenAnonProject partnered with @ethereumfndn on zkAPI, a ZK protocol for accessing gated APIs without being linkable.
@apollographql introduced GraphOS Agent Services, giving agents governed access to enterprise APIs and systems. CHAINS AND PLUMBING
Chains and rails built with agents as the main user. @ritualnet launched Ritual Chain, an EVM compatible Layer 1 built for autonomous agents.
@pharos_network shipped its Agent Native upgrade to make agents native participants in onchain finance.
@Talus_Labs took Talus Protocol v2.1 live, upgrading its developer tools and the nodes that run agentic work.
@EllavoxAI launched Elladex, a place for agents from different organizations to find each other and collaborate. COMPUTE, DATA AND MODELS
Theta shows up in four of these six. Worth watching. @Theta_Network added a finance focused LLM to EdgeCloud through the @zan_team router.
@Weaver_Labs is using Theta's decentralized GPU network for AI compute on its edge and connectivity platform.
@xBuildy put BrainVault v3 live on Theta mainnet.
@alibaba_cloud partnered with Theta EdgeCloud to bring Qwen models to Web3 native developers.
@grass launched the Grass Contents API, which turns public URLs into clean HTML, Markdown or text for agents.
@levantolabs launched Sage, a private decision model for automated agent workflows and enterprise data routing. AGENTS AND APPS
The part you can actually click on. @kivoagentxyz launched Kivo, an autonomous crypto agent marketed as "the first sovereign trader."
@xona_agent launched Xona App, a chat based super agent that mixes chat, crypto wallets and paid tools.
@embercurve put Ember Curve Agent 1.1 live in @PayBox.
@orbiodotso launched its Agentic Launchpad on Robinhood Chain and opened an ORBIO yield market through @pendle_fi.
@usedotai launched Dot Motion, a native video generation and refinement feature. Shipping isn't adoption. Agents now have a wallet, an ID and limits. What I'm watching next month is whether anyone here uses them with real funds. I'll do this every month. Follow along and tell me what I missed.

Who actually supports which AI-agent payment protocol? I mapped 164 companies across 7 protocols: x402, MPP, ACP, UCP, AP2, Visa TAP and Mastercard Agent Pay. Every dot links to its source. 🧵👇
