Stay up late to experience Caffeine and stare at the complete dApp generated in natural language on the screen.I suddenly realized that the strong combination of x402 payment protocol + codeless application will really change Crypto.
Imagine: You use Caffeine to generate an “AI chat, consultation + subscription payment” application, which can be integrated with the x402 protocol to realize automatic payment. This Agent can operate independently for several years.youYou only need to define a set of content generation logic for it and set a dynamic revenue adjustment pricing strategy, and it will become a completely autonomous business entity to make money for you..
Think about it, what would this change?At the very least, the “super individual” era of the creator economy is coming ahead of schedule..
Originally, I was writing a small program. Not only did I need to form a team for development and operation, but I also charged a fee for connecting to the Stripe payment gateway, which cost me less money for renting an AWS server. The advertising fee for user growth and advertising was outrageous.
Now it takes 10 minutes to generate a dApp, recharge a small amount of start-up capital, and have built-in x402 protocol to automatically collect payments, and you can basically start business.
Of course, the YY component of the above is currently relatively large, and there must be many practical problems.
But the incredible thing is,Just when the x402 protocol, which is about to open up Crypto payment and Internet business models, is becoming popular, another AI platform that can use AI natural language to generate complete on-chain applications has also made a splash..
Is this really just a coincidence??
I have to talk about the difficulties in implementing the x402 protocol.There must be a payment agreement but lack of practical application scenarios:
You can say that Americans are accustomed to the mature business system of swiping credit cards, and there is no place for Crypto payment. You can see that infrastructure games such as Facilitator and Launchpd are all over the screen, and you criticize that Crypto will only produce bubbles.
However, at this time, DFINITY Foundation (ICP), a technical outlier who dreams of doing world computing, used Caffeine to give an irrefutable answer:It is not necessarily necessary to subvert the business model. It is feasible to create a new AI super individual business model.?
For example, if you want to engage in AI divination and pay $1 each time, under the traditional business model and compliance framework, there is no room for such a business to survive, butWith Cafeine generating a combo punch + x402 payment, maybe this kind of thing can really be done..
Because,When application costs are infinitely close to 0, operating costs are fixed and controllable, and payment friction disappears, a large number of “long-tail super individual businesses” will surely emerge on the market..
