Arthur Hayes: AI agents need a currency tied to compute
- —x402 and MPP processed 258.5 million agent transactions
- —FLOP is a settlement layer for verified inference
- —The FLOP airdrop is planned for Q4 2026, with network launch in 2027
- —Nvidia GPUs account for about 60% of AI server costs
Why it matters: If compute becomes the base resource of the AI-agent economy, demand for a currency tied to it could create a new class of crypto assets.
