Discussion Topic:

AI agents need to pay for things — APIs, compute, data, other agents. MPP and x402 are the two most serious attempts to make that native to the web. The tradeoffs: routing logic, stablecoin settlement, developer adoption, and which stack actually survives contact with production. Two very different philosophies on where money should live in the agentic stack.
