Today we're launching thirdweb Nexus, a payment gated edge proxy that enables x402 with any API.
This unlocks agents to use APIs without making accounts or keys while getting paid for the requests.
The proxy runs on a globally distributed edge, is free to set up and automatically handles all the crypto parts.

If you built an onchain app that uses any token, thirdweb bridge is a critical component you need to add.
It lets your users buy your app tokens with over 4k different coins. We've seen a 50%+ increase in volume through apps that implemented it.

thirdweb just expanded HTTP 402 payments beyond USDC to support thousands of tokens across 100+ chains.
You can now enable API and Agentic payments with almost any token, including your own.
Friday we're announcing something even bigger, it'll be a massive unlock for any internet API.

Most crypto apps are losing 55% of users based on bad UX:

- only supporting basic tokens/chains
- not sponsoring gas
- unreliable RPCs

We redesigned our entire API to be agent friendly, just point it to api.thirdweb.com/reference and watch it work.
It handles wallets, transactions, tokens, everything.

I've watched hundreds of founders building in emerging tech, and one annoying pattern keeps repeating: the OG gatekeepers.

People love to hate on rollups and how many chains there are.

A rollup is just a public api server, there’s going to be thousands of them with meaningful activity.

AI Agents are exploding but there's one major problem, they can't pay for anything.
Giving an agent a CC or bank account makes no sense, slow ACH transfers and CC chargeback are real risks.
This is why we built thirdweb Nebula, allowing AI agents to transact instantly with verifiable payments on blockchains.

Hosting a crypto developer unconference next Thursday at Fort Mason in SF.
Think conference but better: no preset agenda. Show up, pitch the topics you're passionate about, and we’ll choose the best ones for lightning talks.

I love how easy we've made Account Abstraction at thirdweb, just add a line of code and every connected wallet is a smart account!
By far the easiest to use SDK to enable gas sponsorship and other smart account features.

I got into blockchains for permission-less, decentralized tech. No platforms controlling what we build.

“Build what you want” << love this
THIS.
This is the difference between Farcaster today and Farcaster 6 months ago. People don't build shit for the fun of it on here anymore. It's all "what's the TAM?" and "you can't compete with Warpcast" and "you need a quadrillion dollars from the most exclusive VCs".
Fuck that. Just build what you want to build. h

Onchain apps won't hit mainstream until mobile is the default platform, if you're interested in helping make this happen DM Joaquim!
He's looking for talented mobile devs to help build tools that make it easier to build mobile onchain experiences.

Our mission at thirdweb is to enable any onchain capability on EVERY evm chain.
The beauty of this is we don’t have to force devs down 1 path. There’s so much to build and no singular way to do it.
This allows us to focus on what’s actually best for devs and not just what’s cool this month.

This is why i love open source and modular designs.
Great work by @gregfromstl on making it super easy to interact with farcaster by adding an extension to the thirdweb sdk!

With 4844 launched now, $3M will go a long way in sponsoring the gas fee's for users across the superchain.

If you’re building contracts for others to use, thirdweb publish now supports deploying from frames!
Here’s how:
1. Run `npx thirdweb publish` in your project
2. Paste published link into a cast
3. Anyone can deploy to any evm chain

thirdweb is now powering over 1600 weekly active web3 games!
Last year we made a huge bet on web3 gaming by building tools to enable game devs to interact with blockchains, web3 wallets, and smart contracts in Unity and Unreal Engine.
If you're building a game, would love to show you our tools, DM me!

The most useful tool building onchain frames is thirdweb engine:
* read/write any smart contract on any evm blockchain
* backend wallets execute txn’s w/o managing keys
* deploy contracts
* use session keys with smart wallets
* simple http api
If you want to try it DM me your wallet, I’m giving out free credits!

If you're building smart contracts for others devs, you should be publishing on thirdweb:
* allows other devs to deploy to any evm chain
* gives you a landing page, owned by your wallet
* enables all thirdweb tools for your contract
And now has frame support to make distribution even easier!

thirdweb grew 12x last year in active developers, ending the year with 74k!
Our growth came from a bet to support every EVM chain, a vision where apps and games exist on thousands of chains.
There is no bear market for builders and the developer energy in web3 has never been higher!

Debates about the ETH vs Solana ecosystems are missing the big picture, both enable Blockchains as public backends.
This is identical to previous shifts on the web, arguing about php vs node servers didn’t make you win.
if you enjoy or prefer one, build for it. As a founder stay focused and avoid the noise!

• Self-host or use our managed service
• Connects with user Smart Wallets using session keys
