Circle and OpenMind team up to let AI robots pay each other in USDC. Because why not? They’re already judging our dating profiles.
Circle’s latest move is to build a payment system so fast, it’ll make your Netflix buffering look like the tortoise in the fable. 🐢💨 The goal? Let AI bots trade data, compute power, and probably also argue about politics-all without a human lifting a finger. Because nothing says “I’m rich” like paying $0.000001 for a single Google search. 💻💸
Circle Gateway: Micropayments So Tiny, You’ll Need a Microscope
Circle and OpenMind are basically building a highway for AI transactions. Using USDC, they’ll let bots zip around making thousands of payments per second. Why? Because blockchain gas fees are “too mainstream” now. Who needs $100 to send a message when you can batch 10,000 in one go? 🚀
The plan? Create protocols so AI agents can buy data, run APIs, and maybe even tip each other for good service. It’s like Venmo, but for algorithms. And yes, they’ll probably charge a 2.9% fee for the privilege. 🤖💳

Traditional blockchains are “too slow” for AI, obviously. High gas fees? Pfft. Circle’s solution? Off-chain batching-because why trust a blockchain when you can just… pretend it’s happening? 🤷♂️ The Gateway will handle it all, like a financial ghostwriter for your crypto dreams. 🕯️
Circle’s new Gateway infrastructure is designed to process payments across EVM and non-EVM chains. It’s like a universal remote for crypto, but with more bureaucracy. 📺📄
The deferred-settlement model? Genius. Let’s delay payments but still act like they’re instant. Because who needs finality when you can have “eventual consistency”? 🕒
AI Agents Need Money Too… Or Do They?
Circle’s “explicit expectation” is that AI systems will start buying stuff. Like, a lot. Data, content, compute resources-probably even NFTs of themselves. Because nothing says “I’m alive” like spending $1 million on a digital cat. 🐱💸
Current blockchains can’t handle the volume. Millions of transactions per second? Please. Even Bitcoin can’t decide what time it is. But Circle’s batching tech? It’s basically blockchain’s answer to a coffee IV drip. ☕
By aligning Gateway with x402, Circle wants to give sellers “high throughput, low fees.” Translation: We’re charging less than before, but only if you use our API. 🤝
Circle’s Gateway is compatible with EIP-3009 and x402 signatures. It’s like crypto’s version of a universal adapter, but with more layers of complexity. 🔧
The Gateway API will validate payments instantly, but only if you have enough balance. Otherwise, it’ll just pretend you do. 🎭
This whole thing is “responding to the new need for agentic AI.” Translation: Robots want to spend money without asking for permission. And who are we to say no? 🤖🛍️
