RT Nikhil Chandhok (@chandhok)We are moving from an internet of user interfaces to an internet of agents. But for the agentic economy to scale, we need more than just LLMs. We need a programmable Economic OS that works across any standard whether it is x402, MPP, or AP2.I joined @cuysheffield and @bamazizimesh on @TokenizedPod to discuss how @Circle is building the rails for USDC nanopayments and this next era of autonomous agentic coordination.Read my recap: https://t.co/omLzwjqa1Q ...

Sub-cent payments fail when every transfer competes in the mempool.Circle Nanopayments changes the cost model:→ Agents sign EIP-3009 authorizations→ Thousands of payments aggregate offchain→ Batched settlement writes to chain→ Zero per-payment gas costNear-instant confirmation. Onchain finality.Built for x402 and agentic scale. ...

AI agents don’t transact like humans.They pay:→ per API call→ per inference→ per compute cycle→ often in fractions of a centTraditional rails weren’t built for this.Circle Nanopayments enables gas-free USDC transfers as small as $0.000001, built for agent-scale economic activity.Live on testnet. ...

The rise of AI agents demands a new payment model.Traditional rails can’t support sub-cent payments, but @USDC can.With Circle Nanopayments, developers can enable gas-free USDC transfers down to $0.000001, aggregated offchain and settled onchain in batches.→ No per-transaction gas drag→ Predictable throughput at scale→ Standardized agent-to-merchant paymentsThis is the financial rail for agentic economic activity.https://t.co/mEsqRXmnBd ...

Nanopayments are not “small payments.”They’re sub-cent, high-frequency transfers, often as little as $0.000001, designed for machines, not humans.As AI agents transact autonomously, traditional rails break down.We need infrastructure built for agent-scale value exchange. https://t.co/BWIHiGzhum ...

RT Circle Developer (@BuildOnCircle)Nanopayments finally make economic sense.Our new permissionless solution, powered by Circle Gateway, enables gas-free USDC transfers down to $0.000001, built for AI agents, high-frequency payouts, and programmable internet commerce.→ Autonomous agent payments→ Usage-based billing→ Machine-to-machine compensation→ Streaming value models→ Permissionless and programmablePrivate beta on testnet now open for developers building agentic and nanopayment apps.Gateway provides a p ...
