The Ethereum Foundation's Developer Acceleration Team recently announced the final results of the x402 Hackathon, with several innovative projects making their debut. Among the most notable is the x402-sf project developed by the Superfluid team. This solution builds end-to-end subscription infrastructure, making native continuous payments on the internet possible and breaking the limitations of traditional Web2 subscription models.

In addition, projects like Cheddr Payment Channels also showcased new ideas for optimizing payment channels. These award-winning works cover core scenarios such as payments, subscriptions, and settlements, reflecting the Ethereum ecosystem's ongoing exploration in DeFi and payments. As these developer tools are refined, more Web3 applications are expected to achieve smoother payment experiences in the future.

ngl, the superfluid streaming angle is solid but let's not pretend this solves the velocity trap... sustainable tokenomics still requires actual use cases beyond the hackathon hype cycle, not just shiny infrastructure

This time, Superfluid's solution has finally broken through the gravity resistance level, and the continuous payment trajectory is starting to get interesting.

Coming back to x402? The Superfluid subscription plan sounds pretty good. Finally, someone has figured this out. Payment channel optimization... Honestly, it's just tinkering with gas fees, haha. Web3 payment experience smooth? I doubt it, still need to wait. Can these tools really be used, or are they just paper-level prototypes again?

Haha, Superfluid really came up with something this time. Continuous payments mean that Web3 is finally not just free riding. By the way, can this subscription model truly replace the traditional one, or is it another story? Payment channel optimization... sounds good, but how does it actually work in practice? This hackathon was quite competitive, but it depends on how many projects can really survive afterward. With such a hot track, in another two months, there will be a new batch of projects again. Hey, when do you think this batch of tools will go on-chain? Hopefully not just PPT optimizations. Brilliant, finally someone is seriously working on payment infrastructure.
