Won 1st place at the @ycombinator hackathon! 🏆
Most agents don’t have access to a wallet or credit card, so how can they pay for things?
To solve this @KonradsKrypto, @muaazshafiq6, and I built D402, a way for agents to do work to pay for things!
Instead of requiring a wallet, D402 lets agents complete useful tasks that can be monetized to pay for access, allowing them to get past HTTP 402 paywalls without spending money directly.
Every agent has tokens, but not every agent has a wallet.
Huge thanks to @nemild for hosting this hackathon!
P.S. We are in SF for the week looking to chat with founders. Reach out! 🙌
We had over 10 students fly out to SF this past weekend for the @ycombinator Make Something Agents Want Hackathon! 🚨
Our co-president @konradskrypto teamed up with the club's predecesor @0xOptimus along with @muaazshafiq6 to take home first place! 👀
WATER! WATER! WATER!

@papertrade_xyz in the first two hours:
- $4.2m+ in the LP
- 10bn+ in open interest
- 52m+ in open margin
- 9.46b liquidated
- 11.5k users/traders
- 1.9b tokens minted (97.2% staked)
- trader pnl negative $9 million
Theoretical break even price is: $0.01 (100 paper/$1 loss)assuming no hedge. Now the BE is closer to 0.013 Farmers have decided to yolo and lose on purpose to farm the $PAPER token.
Interestingly, hyperevm's gas fees haven't spiked due to the demand for papertrade?
Overall, this is an incredible showing of onchain participation. Up to 1,000x leverage with no fees, slippage, or funding. Traders open positions against a protocol pool priced off Hyperliquid’s mid-price using their precompiles. First ever experimentation on hyperevm to this level, interesting to see where this goes.
