Superfluid Ships x402 Extension for Continuous Payments After Winning Ethereum Foundation Hackathon
🌊 Streaming payments go live
Superfluid has launched its x402 extension, enabling continuous subscription payments directly through the internet protocol layer. The project won the Ethereum Foundation's x402 hackathon.
Key developments:
- x402 extension now live for the agentic economy
- Brings native streaming payment infrastructure to internet protocols
- Project was predicted 6 months ago by Michele Daliessi
The extension allows for continuous, real-time payment flows rather than traditional one-time transactions. This infrastructure targets subscription-based services and automated agent-to-agent payments.
Superfluid's implementation integrates payment streaming at the protocol level, removing the need for separate payment processing layers.

AI Agents Need Continuous Payment Streams for Continuous Work
Superfluid is developing a payment infrastructure specifically designed for AI agents. Unlike humans who receive periodic payments, AI agents require continuous, real-time payment streams that match their continuous work output. **Key Points:** - AI agents operate in binary mode - they're either working or not - Traditional periodic payment systems don't align with how agents function - Streaming payments provide the native language for agent-to-agent transactions This approach enables AI agents to receive compensation in real-time as they perform tasks, creating a more efficient economic model for autonomous systems.

x402 Protocol Demo Shows Solution for Pay-As-You-Go LLM Payments
A new demo extension addresses a key challenge in the x402 payment protocol: handling pay-as-you-go transactions for Large Language Models (LLMs) when costs aren't predetermined. **The Problem** - Erik Voorhees questioned how x402 could manage LLM payments with variable, upfront-unknown costs - Traditional pay-per-request models struggle with unpredictable AI inference pricing **The Solution** - The team developed a working demo extension specifically for this use case - Demonstrates flexible monetization for services with dynamic pricing The x402 protocol transforms pay-per-request into a flexible monetization framework, with the x402 Suite designed to lower barriers for developers building on top of it.
Ethereum Security Groups Receive Continuous Funding Streams
Two Ethereum security organizations are now receiving ongoing financial support through continuous token streams: - **SEAL911 white hats**: 133.7 ETH upfront + 0.1337 ETH daily - **SEAL's general fund**: 69 ETH upfront + 0.069 ETH daily Both groups focus on securing Ethereum and Layer 2 networks. The funding comes through [The DAO Fund](https://thedaofund.com) and uses continuous streaming technology for real-time, onchain payments. This marks a shift toward sustainable, ongoing support for security infrastructure rather than one-time grants.
