SKALE Network Powers Next-Gen Web3 Gaming with StrayShot and Cryptopia

**Dexter AI has launched on the SKALE Network**, enabling high-frequency x402 agent payments without gas fees. **Key features:** - Zero gas fee transactions for AI agent payments - Built on SKALE's Ethereum-native infrastructure - Designed to eliminate cost and latency barriers for agent payment scaling The launch addresses a critical challenge in AI agent economies: traditional blockchain networks impose transaction costs that make micro-payments impractical. By leveraging SKALE's architecture, Dexter AI can process frequent, small-value transactions between AI agents without the friction of gas fees. This development represents a practical step toward making autonomous agent-to-agent payments viable at scale.

SKALE has introduced a new **Developer Showcase** series, a live program featuring builders, tools, and projects within the SKALE ecosystem. The series follows the successful SF Agentic Commerce x402 Hackathon, which drew significant participation: - **324 builders** participated - **86 live demonstrations** presented - **275,000+ onchain transactions** executed The hackathon focused on autonomous agents and agentic commerce, demonstrating practical applications rather than theoretical concepts. Winners have been announced and featured in the showcase series. The Developer Showcase airs live on X (formerly Twitter) and highlights real demos from actual developers building on SKALE's infrastructure.

The San Francisco Agentic Commerce x402 Hackathon has wrapped up, demonstrating that autonomous agents have moved from theory to practice. **Key Results:** - 324 builders participated - 86 live demonstrations delivered - 275,000+ onchain transactions generated - $50,000 in prizes distributed The event focused on building the future of AI commerce and x402 technology. Winners have been announced and detailed in the official [hackathon recap](https://blog.skale.space/blog/san-francisco-agentic-commerce-x402-hackathon-recap-winners).

**Khorus partners with SKALE** to deploy their agent launchpad on SKALE's Base integration, focusing on **ERC-8004 AI agents**. **Key features:** - Fast, gas-free transactions via sFuel - Privacy-focused infrastructure - High-throughput capabilities - Developer-optimized environment The partnership positions Khorus as **one of the first builders** on SKALE's Base implementation, targeting the growing AI agent ecosystem. **Why it matters:** AI agents require speed and scalability - SKALE's zero-gas architecture removes friction for autonomous operations.
