Cloudflare Wallets let you give an agent a crypto wallet holding stablecoins so it can pay for inference, data, and other services, including reserved on-chain identities.

6:45to us about the new Cloudflare wallets. >> Yes, this was just announced a couple hours ago as of the time of recording this morning. Cloudflare wallets have been announced which essentially just wallet for your agent. Um a couple months ago Cloudflare announced this thing called uh what was it called here? Uh monetization gateway. Yeah. A couple months ago, Cloudflare announced the monetization gateway, which is essentially you want agents to be able

7:15to access your content, whether that's to pay for inference tokens, whether that's to get data, etc., etc., then your agent has to pay, right? And there needs to be a way for these agents to be able to pay, even if it's like half a cent or a cent or 12 cents for access to the specific thing. So, there's been this new like open standard X42 payment required uh which is essentially this

7:41way for uh agents to be able to pay for access to whatever it is you want. Now, this morning, Cloudfront announced the Cloudflare wallet, which is essentially going to allow you to give a wallet which can hold um stable coins. So, it it seems to be it is a crypto wallet. Um, which I think it's kind of interesting before I even get a bit more into that. You know how like QR codes

8:07the the solution to QR codes were announced and like we never used them for the longest time and then the pandemic came around and we're like, "Oh, QR codes are actually helpful for like menus and ordering online and like like we had QR codes for like 15 years before they actually became useful. What if the actual useful part of crypto ends up being that agents can use it to pay

8:31for things? Wouldn't that be wild? [laughter] >> That's what makes it relevant again. >> Yes, >> maybe. Um >> maybe. Yeah. >> But the what these wallets will do is you'll be able to both send and receive. So you can pay for things with you can give you can create like a wallet and you can give it like $20 and say go complete this task for me. Um, and you

8:53might need some AI inference, but you may also need to access to some data that is paid. Like one example of like paid data is like stock market, right? Stock market is for free pretty much on so many different APIs, but it's always 15 minutes delayed. And if you want the most relevant, you have to pay like big bucks to some provider to get like updated on the the millisecond. So that

9:18would be a good example. like yeah I want to run this every 3 hours but I wanted to do it with updated data you could use this type of thing for it. Now [snorts] along with that, Cloudflare is allowing you to reserve your own wallet because they are I guess going along with with the wallet is you have this identity of like who are you right because if you

9:40want to pay for something you have to like be able to attach that to somebody and that's that's I guess one of the problems with crypto right now is that it can be very anonymous. It's it's a benefit and and a bit of a problem. So you can register your handle on cloudflare.pay. pay. >> So, so you can tell uh your agent to go off and do something and get yourself a
