Every transaction in digital assets begins and ends with custody. And we’re excited to extend our work to the most critical part of the stack - trust.

Imagine all these people in one room, in NY tomorrow at Google’s NYC HQ joined by leaders from @Google @Anchorage @Citi @zerohashx @MorganStanley @solana and many more.
We’re discussing quantum safe cryptography strategies for major protocols and new AI risks.

Worried about quantum?
If only there was an industry with a concentration of world class cryptographers…

Quantum computing will transform science and technology. It will also fundamentally rewrite how we protect digital information.

Loved getting this across the line. 🤝
The convergence of Web3 and AI is happening now, and @googlecloud’s leadership here is unmatched.
The goal is simple: make agent actions auditable, trustless and immutable. Watch as regulation and liability concerns demand it. @SuiNetwork

our collaboration with @googlecloud on VAA is a first step towards something much bigger
this is going to be a total game changer

Focus is a superpower. 🎯
Nodes & RPC are in great hands with @Quicknode (and still available on Google Cloud Marketplace), so our team is going all-in on what's next for digital assets: GCUL, MPC, and on-chain data.
Partners power the infra. We build the platforms on top. 🚀

🚨 BIG: Google Cloud is shutting down its Blockchain Node Engine and Blockchain RPC on December 15, 2026, and handing customers over to Quicknode.

Such a great summit - it was awesome hosting @rishinsharma and @SolanaFndn at the Google campus to talk agentic payments.
Incredible scenes from this year's Google Web3 AI Summit with @googlecloud, @GoogleDeepMind, @RichJWidmann, and @rishinsharma.

Yeehaw! Starting today, Uber riders can experience @Waymo on Austin freeways, rolling out gradually across eligible trips. 🤠

This is probably one of the most comprehensive reports in x402, what it is, and why it matters.
Thanks to @Jun__Yoo and @FourPillarsFP for taking the time to consolidate all the activity into a single document.
There’s so much potential energy in agentic payments which makes it the most exciting space to work in.
Whoever converts that potential energy into something kinetic will unlock massive amounts of value for merchants and consumers.

1/ If your x402 thesis assumes crypto-only payments, mandatory facilitators, or guaranteed delivery after settlement, it needs updating.
All About x402 is out: the mechanics, extensions, adoption paths, and businesses behind agent payments

Part of me was hoping that @ccatalini and I would have divergent views on agentic money to make the talk more interesting.
But they weren’t - and yet, the conversation around agents, money and opportunities/risks was still one of the more eye opening convos I’ve had of late! In no small part thanks to @rparekh expert moderation.

At @thestablecon meeting a variety of stablecoin issuers, banks and payments companies. I have to say this is a wild place to host a payments conference.
Can’t wait to talk all things agentic payments and stablecoins later today!

“90% of Internet users only use the web for internet and text - so 56k connection is more than enough bandwidth.”
This is a classic example of a base rate fallacy.
VC bros falling over each other to support Tesla. 🙄
It’s ok guys, you’ll learn to love @Waymo

~85% of rideshare trips have 1 or 2 passengers.
The Cybercab goes 45% farther per kWh than the most efficient Model 3 AND costs a lot less to build (~$3-5k savings)
So you save a lot on manufacturing and electricity
I wonder if they could build a bench seat for 3 passengers.

Self co-founder @marek_ took the @googlecloud Web3 AI Summit stage yesterday for the “Evolution of ZK” panel.
Marek showed how Self puts ZK to work for privacy-first identity, including through the USA₮ Mainnet Faucet, bringing up to $10 to real humans.

Agentic payments are still early but incumbents see the opportunity and it’s creating downward pressure on their take rate. Stablecoins and global rails are proving to be the disruptive. —@SolanaFndn

@SolanaFndn @chainlink presented some of the unique challenges for agents moving money on chain and what’s at stake to prevent purely incumbent-led agentic commerce.
