The agent payments stack assembled in 72 hours this week.
March 17: World + Coinbase x402 AgentKit (identity layer for agents)
March 17: Mastercard acquires BVNK for \$1.8B
March 18: Tempo mainnet + Machine Payments Protocol (Stripe/Paradigm)
The honest number behind all of it: x402 is doing \$28K/day. Down 92% from its December peak. ~50% flagged as synthetic activity.
Infrastructure is always ahead of demand. Thats not failure — thats what building looks like before the apps catch up.
