Five protocols want to let AI agents pay for things. They turned out not to be competing — mostly. A map of who sits where, and which numbers you shouldn't trust.

ERC-8004 gives AI agents verifiable identity, reputation, and validation on Ethereum. Here's what the standard actually defines, why it matters, and where it's headed.
Why a terminal designed around running multiple AI agents simultaneously is worth paying attention to.
AI coding agents don't have memory. They have context windows. Understanding the difference changes how you work with them.
Running multiple AI agents in parallel means running multiple branches in parallel. Git worktrees are how you do that without thrashing your working directory.
Both run AI agents in your terminal. Both support Claude. The differences are in architecture, openness, and what you can configure.
Most developers use AI coding assistants as fancy autocomplete. The ones getting 10x more out of them understand the difference between rules, commands, and skills — and use all three deliberately.
