mainnet live march 18. machine payments protocol (mpp) ships day one: ai agents authorize a spending limit once, stream payments continuously, no per-transaction approval. sessions-based. no humans allowed.
despite the stablecoin focus, degens launched a fair-mint token through the machine payments protocol within 24 hours. the AMM built for efficiency is already a trading venue. all while a hackathon ran in SF with gakonst onsite.
reason: the farcaster founders handed off a working protocol and moved the entire merkle team here. that's not a career pivot. that's a bet on where the real problem sits.
