x402 vs MPP: Who Will Control the AI Economy?

AI agents are getting smarter, but how do they actually pay for API calls, compute, and services? In this episode of Running Web3, we break down the massive battle for the machine economy infrastructure: Coinbase’s x402 protocol vs. Stripe’s MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) on the Tempo blockchain.

We analyze how these two completely different philosophies—fully decentralized HTTP-based payments vs. an enterprise-grade fiat/crypto bridge—are trying to solve the biggest bottleneck in the AI space. Which protocol will become the default rail for machine-to-machine commerce? Let's dive in.
