💸 x402 + ERC-8004 — Pay-per-Call & Agent Identity

## The Problem Today, running a workflow requires: connect wallet → sign EIP-712 → own NFT → have inUSD balance. That limits us to crypto-native humans using the marketplace UI. ## The Solution Support two emerging standards: ### 1. x402 (Coinbase/Cloudflare) HTTP 402 "Payment Required" for instant stablecoin micropayments. Any HTTP client can pay per call with zero onboarding. → [x402.org](https://www.x402.org/) → [Coinbase Docs](https://docs.cdp.coinbase.com/x402/) ### 2. ERC-8004 (Ethereum Foundation) On-chain identity and reputation for AI agents. Three registries: → **Identity** — Portable, censorship-resistant agent IDs → **Reputation** — Feedback signals and scoring → **Validation** — Independent verification hooks → [EIP-8004](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-8004) ## Why It Matters → AI agents can call workflows directly (no wallet connection) → Developers can integrate via simple HTTP → Agents build on-chain reputation over time → Opens indie.money to the entire agentic economy ## Links → GitHub #902, #901 💬 Which standard matters more to you? What would you build with pay-per-call APIs?
