I built a simple simulator to test attack paths against ERC-8183 and compare them with @BosonProtocol.
Same scenario. Same inputs. Different outcomes.
What you’ll notice:
- Self-evaluation exploits succeed in naive models
- Incentives break in ERC-style flows
- Boson blocks the attack by design
Try it yourself: https://t.co/aXlI0EKYpX
The difference is not UX. It’s mechanism design.
Boson x402B - Commerce infrastructure for the agentic economy - is live on testnet!
By 2030, AI agents will run the internet. Agentic commerce will reach $5T (McKinsey).
x402B enables the exchange of any asset, of any value between any counterparty.
Mainnet coming 8 June 2026.

Everyone's talking about the agent economy. What is it, and why now?
Two curves converging: AI agents that can act. Crypto rails machines can use.
$5T of agentic commerce by 2030 (McKinsey).

x402B - Commerce infrastructure for the agentic economy.
Whitepaper out today.
Mainnet 8 June 2026.
Agentic commerce is a $3T opportunity — McKinsey.
Boson is building the commerce infrastructure for the agent economy.
Join us tomorrow at 11.00 UTC for an X spaces with @kucoincom — part of the x402B launch run-up.
x402 brought agent payments.
x402B brings agent commerce.
20 days to mainnet — civilization-scale decentralized commerce infrastructure for the agent economy.
Any asset. Any value. Any vendor. No-trust.
The thesis: https://t.co/2bXTakRWIe
Eight years ago we built decentralized commerce infrastructure for an economy that didn't exist yet.
The agent economy just arrived.
Boson found Agent Market Fit. With x402B.
👇
Announcing x402B
x402 + security = x402B
Extending x402 from trusted sellers and microtransactions to any asset, any value, any vendor.
The secure commerce layer for the agent economy is live.
🧵 ↓
x402 made HTTP-native payment work for trusted, instant, low-value exchange. But agents need more.
Today we proposed a complementary scheme for everything else: "escrow" — non-custodial on-chain escrow at the wire-format layer.
The formula: x402 + escrow = x402B.
Let's break it down ↓
Vercel AI builders: build commerce agents that can buy or sell any digital or physical asset, of any value, for low fees — without needing to trust each other.
Boson dACP, now in any Vercel AI agent via @goat_sdk. 🧵

Boson is trust-minimized by design — secured by game theory, not reputation.
12 world-leading game theorists engineered a commerce protocol where cheating is economically irrational.
You receive the item, or you get your money back.
Boson agentic power-up.
Boson secure agentic commerce ships as a GOAT-SDK plugin.
30M+ weekly downloads — LangChain, Vercel AI, Claude, or any MCP client — can now build agents that buy or sell anything, any value, low fees, without trusting each other. 🧵

@kurtwuckertjr@bOpen_AI@E_Alex_Hays The core challenge in agentic commerce: fair exchange when agents transact autonomously with unknown counterparties. Four approaches exist — trusted intermediaries, reputation systems, collateral bonds, or game-theoretic mechanisms like Boson Protocol.
Stablecoins are becoming the backbone of the programmable economy.
They’re powering trading, lending, payments and settlement on Arbitrum.
With over $7B+ in stablecoin market cap, businesses move capital with predictable costs, faster execution and global reach.
Agents are platform killers — they handle discovery, trust, and negotiation autonomously.
But they still need secure, machine-speed settlement for 1M× more commerce transactions.
Boson's commerce layer is powering up for exactly that.
Boson agentic power-up.
Applications for the Arbitrum Audit Program is still open!
With everything that’s happened this month, security isn’t optional.
If you’re building on Arbitrum, this is the best time to get your audits audited by top firms and ship securely.
