  1. AP2 emerges! Google's Agent Payments Protocol extends A2A for secure agent-led payments. With 60+ partners (Mastercard, PayPal, Salesforce), AP2 completes the agent economy trio: A2A + MCP + AP2. Read more: dev.to/eclaw/a2a-daily-insight #A2A #AI #EClaw #AP2

  2. x402 и MCP для чайников

    С появлением всё большего количества сервисов/агентов/платформ/llm-юзеров встал вопрос о встроенной и универсальной оплате. Одним из самых лучших ответов на этот вопрос становится протокол x402 . x402 - это протокол от Coinbase, продолжение инициативы от Google с их AP2. x402 позволяет делать нативные платежи для http-интерфейсов. Запрос->Заголовок->Оплата->Результат. Без карт, лишних кабинетов с балансами, и прочей мороки. Любой веб-ресурс или API может запрашивать оплату, а клиент (человек/агент/бот) могут оплачивать с помощью блокчейн транзакций. Для тех, кто создаёт MCP, это колоссальный буст: наконец-то появляется монетизация. Каждый вызов вашего API, может быть платным, или только методы подписки или pro-функций, могут быть платными. Возможность монетизации выведет на рынок большое количество платных MCP, а вслед за ними начнётся настоящий бум всевозможных бесплатных MCP (запись в салон красоты/спа/итд). Протокол работает на HTTP 402 ответе. В связи с тем, что никто его толком не использует, и он десятки лет остался свободным, сейчас наконец появляется применение.

  3. Will you be using your AI agent for payment? Google thinks yes.

    Google is rolling out AP2 - an open, shared protocol that provides a common language for secure, compliant transactions between agents and merchants. It supports different payment types–from credit and debit cards to stablecoins and real-time bank transfers. It supports 2 shopping modes: "Real-time purchases" (human present), and "Delegated tasks" (human not present).

    AP2 uses "Mandates"—tamper-proof, cryptographically-signed digital contracts that serve as verifiable proof of a user's instructions to establish trust. cloud.google.com/blog/products #AI #Google #AP2 #Payments #AIPayments #Shopping #PaymentSystems #CreditCard #StableCoins #Crypto #BankTransfers #Cryptography

  7. So - Google has introduced (what the claim at the moment) will be an open protocol for AI agents to make purchases on behalf of individuals named AP2.

    Putting aside current issues with AI in general such as hallucinations, I think that I may have hit a breaking point with acronyms.

    • A discovery of a vulnerability in a toolkit that allows AI access to link a back-end purchase between enterprises?

    AP2 API B2B SDK CVE

    • A threat actor using AI endpoints for controlling a botnet?

    AP2 APT CNC C2

    I'm sure that there are many more that my tired brain is not capable of assembling at the moment.

  9. Google launches new protocol for agent-driven purchases

    AI agents will be able to purchase online on your behalf with the Agent Payment Protocol, which won the support of Stripe, MasterCard, Amex, PayPal, and will be compatible with crypto payments.

  10. Coda: The growth of BlueSky, and the novel features it launches with, point to a need for a 2.0 version of ActivityPub. One that fleshes out and updates the protocol based on dev experiences in the first decade of active use, and intentions going forward.

    Ideally an AP 2.0 would include a formal mechanism for protocol extensions. One that learns from the experiences of the FEP process.

  11. I wonder when we'll see custom domain #WebFinger in the #Fediverse / #ActivityPub ?

    For example, I want to use:
    * @-live.youronly.one for my #Streams account
    * @-sns.youronly.one for my #Firefish account
    * @-photos.youronly.one for my #Pixelfed account
    * @-mblog.youronly.one for my #Mastodon account
    * @-reading.youronly.one for my #BookWyrm account

    Ideally, even if I move to a new host/service, I can use the same WebFinger.
