Everyone suddenly started shilling x402 projects Hate to break it to you - x402 isn’t a product, it's infra. It's like saying "we are building an HTTPS project" x402 works beautifully as a feature - a way to: -add micropayments to APIs -unlock paid tools for AI agents -simplify pay-per-use access to data That’s elegant. But that’s purely additive. Red flags in projects to call out: - “x402-native token” (there’s no such thing, it already runs on stablecoins) - “AI + x402 + DeFi + agents” word-salad whitepapers - “Marketplace of x402 projects” with nothing to pay for No actual product, no users, just degen vibes. What’s real: The real players are infrastructure: APIs, agents, and tools that actually do something and just use x402 to monetize cleanly. Don’t sleep on x402. It’s going to matter. But don’t fool yourself: it won’t make a bad product great. Build something people want. Then plug in x402. Don’t reverse the order. That’s the flex
