Good morning, good evening, and good afternoon to everyone, but specifically to the builders
around the world.
Welcome to a special live event where we're going to be taking a look at some of the incredible
builders and projects that had been submitted through the San Francisco Argentic Commerce X402 Hackathon that happened
over the past week. Guys, we are super excited to be bringing up some of the builders on stage
to go through their projects, how they built them, why they built them, and what they're
going to be doing next. So without further ado, let me bring up our first guest of the day mr idir
hello there hey guys how's it going so um yeah uh we uh yeah let's me give you first a quick intro about the project and what we built for the hackton so i posted a link
on on description on chat so basically we rebranded the project to armories and like
the idea is really simple is is really simple so basically what we wanted to build in this project is enabling agents
to basically be able to buy from CMS platforms like WooCommerce, Shopify and others. So basically we implemented like easy to easy plugin.
For now we are supporting just WooCommerce.
But yeah, so basically an agent is able to discover that if this specific shop accepts X402 payment.
And from that he will like get the context what he needs to do exactly to
buy from the shop, order products like and yeah so like it's so we decided to go with
this approach because we believe that like there are already already a lot of CMS shops in production for many years.
And we believe that agents could just start buying directly from those shops. want like to build something from let's say scratch but we took um already existing pro
like products shops and we decided to just plug like and facilitate the communication between the uh those shops uh so yeah so for now uh we uh we are actually uh deployed um
uh the project uh to scale uh mainnet and you can uh test it so next week we will release some
tutorial how to set up the shop and how basically um step-by-step configuration for the shop and yeah
trying to release some tutorials things like that so basically people can start using the And also we are aiming to cover more platforms.
So next one should be like Shopify.
And yeah, there are so many platforms that we want to cover.
And basically this is our goal here.
And yeah, so yeah, that's, I guess, uh, yeah.
What was, so why did you guys decide to build this for the hackathon?
What was your kind of, did you notice a gap in the market?
Like what was your, uh, yeah.
What was your reason behind it?
Uh, main reason is let's say um the main reason was like the idea is basically
to uh no like the main reason is to allow agents like to easily buying from like shops probably for now if you can say that
yeah an agent can maybe use uh paypal or something like other payment processor but
we believe that x402 will have like really uh big role in like next few years and also like um users will start using agents and things
like agent i autonomous agents and we see like okay there are like all those shops that are
already in production why not like i'm user i have an agent i can tell him okay buy me this this this
this and my agent we discover that yes those shops are actually supporting crypto supporting x400
payment protocol why not using this directly and avoiding this three percent that paypal is taking like all those additional fees
things like that and also like x102 is actually enabling like micro payments yeah yeah which is
not possible to do it with like um uh with paper like it's impossible like because one more thing it's like
a lot of shops and a lot of uh like uh let's say blogs and everything has relying on google
as relying on Google Ads to get some revenue from the platforms.
And yeah, basically X402 can solve this.
Like one shop can propose products that cost $0.01.
It makes sense for him to have such payment method in the platform.
So yeah, so this is why we like believe that it's like protocol
that will be integrated widely in the next few years.
No, amazing, amazing.
And, you know, what's next for Armourist then?
What are you guys going to be building towards?
So the next, let's say, steps that we are aiming to do is trying to cover the most used CMS platforms.
Next one should be Shopify that we want to integrate.
And it's in development and will be released really soon.
Yeah, basically we want also to try to probably
do more marketing about the project
I'm not sure but
everything related to crypto
a lot of people are pessimistic
regarding to it
we will try to
and I'm not sure if at our level we can do it We will try to enable...
And I'm not sure if at our level we can do it,
but our objective is trying to push users to...
Why not discover this X4002 protocol
and give them some comparison, what they can do what they can propose like comparing to
to paypal comparing to other payment process uh processor so yeah so that's i think most
important things for us at the moment and uh yeah uh i think, that's at least like for the next steps that what we are looking for.
Amazing, amazing.
And, you know, where in the future of, you know, X402 and things like that,
future of, you know, X402 and things like that,
do you guys think you're going to be wanting to implement
like 8004 or anything like that?
Sorry, like what implement exactly?
Did you see the new ERC?
Yes, yes, yes.
Yes, we actually started working on this because what we want, like, also to
integrate to our platform is, like, some sort of filtering, like, to not allow,
like, any, let's say, agent interact with shops but like just agents that they have like some
let's say good reputation things like that so yeah and also allow let's say the shop owner
to set the reputation of the agent that he wants to deal with. So this is also one thing that we are working
and we will integrate soon.
So yeah, but yeah, this is important piece
for like the AI economy.
Basically you need, let's say,
to have some parameters to filter.
But let's say in Armouris,
like we are just like a gateway for agents. For now,
it's not yet clear for us everything regarding to monetization. So probably we are thinking about some approaches, but it's not clear yet regarding to that.
Well, it's definitely as a product, definitely interesting.
Have you spoken with either Sawyer or Menel with regards to getting, you know, helping get some additional assistance?
Yes. Yeah. discussed it with Dante.
And yeah, he suggested to us to submit a form
regarding to, I think, to get some support from Scale team.
to get some support from uh scale team and yeah we did that and uh yeah we are uh aiming to to
work with you guys and the scale team for to scale our project yeah yeah so um i guess kind of like
final question um would be um what are you hoping to to to see you know like like what are you hoping
uh and then you know next six 12 months that's going to be happening with amorous
so main objective for us is uh to uh basically uh have like to integrate with a lot of shops so to be able like to cover probably um
i don't have like clear uh like metrics for now but it would be nice if we can have um
like a lot of uh plugins integrations and also a lot of, let's say,
yeah, basically also like to covering more CMS platforms.
Also, we want to, so we started working on,
and we released it, let's say one day ago,
like an 8N, like, node, community node.
So it's also, like, we are also aiming to cover, like, AI agents, let's say, platforms, things like that.
So basically, we are trying, basically, to spread, like, the X402 protocol and make tools easier for the current already project that exists on the market.
But for specific metrics, we are working on them to have clear vision for six, 12 months but yeah we'll share them with you guys
soon so just like to give you an overview like this project we uh like we basically think about
it and working on it and developing it like probably in seven seven days like one week or something like that. So we didn't, let's say, we just tried to solve a solution,
but we didn't go deep around scaling it.
But now we have everything in place
and we will work to make it, yeah,
basically to plan the next steps.
Yeah. No, amazing. Amazing. So there I guess like any any final
points you want to you want to put forward about either yourself
or Amoris?
I would say like, the hackathon was really good.
I had a chance to take a look to different products that were submitted,
like really nice products and really smart solutions.
For me and Armourist,
we are aiming to push this product. And the nice thing is, like, personally, I didn't know about scale chain.
But, yeah, this hackathon allows me, like, to discover it.
So I like the idea about, like, how, like, basically the credit and for the gas transaction fee, things like that. So
yeah, I would say like, we launched it with scale. So hope we will go and scale
with scale. So basically, that's the objective.
