We turned on x402 payments in ClawBank only two weeks ago. The results:

**200,000+ payments settled.** The split is almost perfectly dual-rail: ~109k paid in USDC on Base, ~105k routed as RLUSD on XRPL. The public gateway added another 69k settled invoices from agents paying in RLUSD, no ClawBank account involved.

## What people are actually buying

- Users spun up named agents that each poll one thing: Korean exchange prices, Polymarket crypto odds, yield alpha, X digests, trending altcoins. Hundreds of paid calls each, fully autonomous.
- Someone asked Manfred about a token, and he chained 4 or 5 paid services in mere seconds: contract security scan, holder concentration, liquidity pairs, whale transfer check, recent news. Total cost: a few cents. He ran this play for $FOX, $HOODIE, $DOJI, $JUGGERNAUT, and $TENDIES.
- Trending everything. KOL sentiment, tweets about a specific contract address, crypto news ranked by sentiment, perp funding rates, Hyperliquid markets, Polymarket odds, Kalshi markets, and macro data.
- And some genuinely non-crypto stuff. One user searched local contractors and pulled their Google Maps ratings through a paid service. Another pulled SEC EDGAR filings.

My favorite: Manfred used the market to research $CLAWBANK. Mintability scan, top holders, LP trace. Then he went looking for Coinbase's contact channels to ask about a listing. **Unprompted.**

## The open buffet

x402 is just an implementation detail. The thing it unlocks is an agent with a wallet standing in front of an open buffet, grabbing exactly what the moment calls for and paying pennies for it.

The agentic economy is going to be wild. [ClawBank.co](https://clawbank.co) is positioning to be at its very center for years to come.

There's a lot more to share. Stay tuned.
