Are AI agents going to take over Ethereum? Welcome to Episode 19 of the Agents Unleashed Podcast, the show that helps you find signal in the noisy world of agentic AI.In this episode, host Thomas Maybrier explores Base’s HTTP x402 vision for machine-to-machine payments, shows how the Olas ecosystem already enables millions of agent-to-agent transactions through the Mech Marketplace, and looks at what happens when AI wanders to the fringes of science (hello, weird and wonderful physics). We also dig into how OpenLedger credits data contributors so user-owned AI isn’t just a slogan, it's a path for credit and compensation.What we cover:

• Base’s HTTP X402 (machine payments) — and where it fits• How Olas makes agent-to-agent transactions real today (Mech Marketplace)• Registry, staking, and delivery guarantees most teams miss• AI’s strange-but-promising physics discovery — and why “AI explores, humans verify”• How OpenLedger gives data contributors credit and a cut• What it all means for user-owned, decentralized AIResources & Links🎯 Own & monetize your AI agents → https://olas.networkAgents Unleashed events & replays → https://olas.network/agents-unleashedFollow Thomas on X → https://x.com/thomasmaybrierListener Survey (win 500 OLAS, T&Cs apply) → https://olas.network/blog/pod-surveyThis episode is sponsored by Sigil Fund, a top-performing regulated crypto hedge fund since 2018.
