A lot is happening around crypto infrastructure lately. Ripple just added support for Stripe and Tempo’s Machine Payments Protocol, opening the door for AI agents to make payments using $XRP and $RLUSD . The idea is pretty interesting. Instead of needing a human to approve every small payment, AI agents could pay for things like APIs, data and computing as they interact with different services. And while that’s happening on the payments side, something similar is developing on TON. TONCO has integrated Omniston, which means its liquidity can now be accessed through Omniston’s cross-chain swap infrastructure. This is one of the things I’ve been paying more attention to with @ston_fi . Omniston started around connecting liquidity across TON DeFi, and it’s now being used to help more apps handle cross-chain swaps without having to build the whole routing and execution system themselves. So instead of every DeFi app building its own infrastructure from scratch, one integration can help connect it to more liquidity and cross-chain execution. I like this direction because it’s happening quietly in the background. AI payments on one side. Cross-chain liquidity on the other. Different problems, but both are working toward the same thing: making crypto infrastructure less complicated for the people actually using it. #Altcoin Season#
