## THE THREAD
### Tweet 1/10 (Hook)
```
We just gave Claude a crypto wallet 🧵
Now it can:
• 💳 Pay for premium APIs automatically
• 💰 Hold its own funds
• 📈 Earn 5% yield while waiting
• ⛓️ Work across 20+ blockchains
The future of AI agents is here.
```

### Tweet 2/10 (The Problem)
```
The problem with AI today:
Claude can write code worth $10,000
Claude can analyze data that saves hours
Claude can plan complex projects
But Claude can't buy you a $0.05 API call.
Until now.
```

### Tweet 3/10 (x402 Explanation)
```
Introducing x402 - the payment protocol for AI agents.
Remember HTTP 402 "Payment Required"?
It's been reserved since 1999.
We finally gave it a purpose.
When Claude hits a paywall:
1. Server returns 402 + payment details
2. Claude pays from its wallet
3. Server grants access
4. You get the data
Zero human intervention.
```

### Tweet 4/10 (The Tech)
```
The tech stack:
• MCP (Model Context Protocol) for AI integration
• x402 protocol for HTTP payments
• USDs stablecoin (earns ~5% APY!)
• Arbitrum, Base, Ethereum + 17 more chains
• 380+ tools included
One npm package. One config file.
```

### Tweet 5/10 (Demo)
```
Watch Claude pay for a premium weather API:
User: "Get satellite weather for Tokyo"
Claude:
🔍 Found PremiumWeather API ($0.05)
💳 Paying from x402 wallet...
✅ Payment confirmed!
[Returns detailed satellite forecast]
Balance: $49.95 (was $50.00)
Magic. ✨
```

### Tweet 6/10 (Use Cases)
```
What can AI do with money?
💸 Pay for premium APIs
📊 Access paywalled research
🤖 Trade with other AI agents
💱 Execute DeFi operations
🎁 Tip content creators
🛒 Buy digital goods
We're building the infrastructure for AI economics.
```
---
### Tweet 7/10 (Safety)
```
"But isn't giving AI money dangerous?"
We thought about that:
• ✅ Configurable spending limits (default: $1 max)
• ✅ Address whitelisting
• ✅ Testnet mode
• ✅ Full transaction logging
• ✅ Human-readable confirmations
You set the guardrails. AI operates within them.

## BONUS TWEETS (Reply to thread)
### Bonus 1 - Technical Deep Dive
```
🔧 For the curious - how x402 works under the hood:
1. Client makes HTTP request
2. Server returns 402 + JSON with payment options
3. Client signs EIP-712 message
4. Payment settles on-chain (Arbitrum = cheap!)
5. Server verifies, grants access
All in <2 seconds.
```
### Bonus 2 - Yield Explanation
```
Why USDs?
@SperaxUSD is a stablecoin that earns yield automatically.
Your AI's wallet earns ~5% APY while it waits.
No staking. No claiming. Just holding.
So when Claude isn't spending, it's earning.
```
### Bonus 3 - Comparison
```
Why we built this:
| Feature | x402 | Traditional |
|---------|------|-------------|
| Account needed | ❌ No | ✅ Yes |
| Human approval | ❌ No | ✅ Every time |
| Min payment | $0.001 | $0.50+ |
| Speed | Seconds | Days |
| Cross-border | ✅ Free | 💸 Expensive |
