The internet was built for humans clicking buttons. The next one is being built for agents calling APIs — and the rails it runs on don't fit anymore.

                        🪙  crypto-native infra
                  (stablecoins · L2s · onchain identity)

I'm building in the capability and economic layers — the substrate that lets autonomous agents discover, transact, and compose across the open internet without humans stitching it together with API keys and Stripe accounts.

Stablecoins moved trillions in 2024. Agents are about to be the largest user of them.

I'm AJ — solo founder, product engineer, and full-stack-of-everything generalist based in Bengaluru 🇮🇳

I like building at the seams — the awkward space where new infrastructure has to exist before the obvious products on top of it can. Before this, I shipped wallet infrastructure, B2C crypto products, and spent enough time in customer interviews to develop strong opinions about pretending to know what users want.

ℹ️ The github-readme-stats.vercel.app public instance was retired in late 2025. To restore the language and stats cards, you can either run the GitHub Action workflow (recommended) or self-deploy a Vercel instance with your own GitHub token. I'll wire it up properly soon — for now streak-stats and profile-trophy are still on healthy hosts.

• x402 — HTTP-native payments. Why hasn't every API done this yet?
• MCP — the protocol layer agents will actually live on
• Trustless MPC & threshold signing — wallets without single points of failure
• Onchain identity for agents — EIP-712, attestations, reputation
• The economics of M2M commerce — pricing, settlement, dispute resolution at machine speed

If you're thinking about any of these — or building near them — I'd genuinely love to chat.

Build the boring infrastructure. The exciting products show up on their own.

A solo founder who can't ship full-stack will lose to one who can.

The best APIs feel like they read your mind. The next-best ones cost $0.001 per call.

Crypto's killer app was always going to be machines paying machines. Humans were a distraction.

• You're building in the agent infra, stablecoin payments, or onchain identity space
• You want to argue about whether MCP is the protocol or the prototype
• You have a thesis on what gets unlocked when agents have wallets
• You're a fellow solo founder shipping nights and weekends — solidarity!
