Компания Breez, занимающаяся программным обеспечением для биткойнов, сообщила, что с тех пор, как кодирующие агенты на основе ИИ стали мейнстримом, спрос на их инструменты для разработчиков значительно возрос, а объем консультаций по сотрудничеству увеличился примерно в 14 раз. Разработчики и их развернутые AI-агенты стремятся интегрировать биткойн-платежи в свои приложения. Breez в блоге компании напрямую связывает этот рост с Claude Code от Anthropic, который был выпущен в качестве исследовательской предварительной версии в феврале 2025 года и официально открыт три месяца спустя.Breez утверждает, что до 2025 года потенциальные партнеры в основном делились на три категории: преданные энтузиасты биткойна, разработчики криптовалют и финансовые технологии, рассматривающие биткойн как класс активов. С момента запуска Claude Code многие разработчики, практически не имеющие опыта работы с биткойном, начали запрашивать консультации, и спрос поступает от фитнес-приложений, мессенджеров, желающих, чтобы пользователи могли переводить деньги друг другу, сервисов eSIM для путешественников и команды приложения для распознавания грибов. Breez сообщает, что эти разработчики выбирают биткойн из-за скорости: традиционные платежные системы требуют банковских счетов и международных переводов, что часто занимает недели или даже месяцы, в то время как их SDK может работать за считанные минуты.Breez отмечает, что все больше запросов поступает от программного обеспечения, а не от людей; кодирующие агенты часто представляют компании, которые их развернули. Компания считает, что агенты предпочитают биткойн, потому что он не требует разрешений; агенты могут создавать приложения и настраивать платежи для пользователей по всему миру без необходимости открывать банковские счета, проходить проверки или подписывать документы. Breez утверждает, что их последний SDK, построенный на протоколе масштабирования биткойна Spark, успешно справился с увеличившимся трафиком.

Согласно сообщению Bitcoin Magazine, поставщик программного обеспечения для биткойнов Breez объявил, что приложения, построенные на основе их Breez SDK, теперь поддерживают возможность получения платежей в стейблкоинах от более чем 30 сетей с использованием биткойн-баланса.Breez заявляет, что после выбора получателем сети и суммы, в которой находится плательщик, SDK генерирует адрес для депозита и отображает сумму поступления, а плательщик по-прежнему производит оплату из своего кошелька; Flashnet завершает обмен в фоновом режиме, и средства в конечном итоге поступают в некастодиальный кошелек получателя в форме биткойнов, если используется функция стабильного баланса, то средства поступают в долларах США.В июне этого года Breez запустил функцию отправки USDT/USDC, позволяя единственному балансу, управляемому Breez, двусторонне перемещать стейблкоины почти по всем сетям. Это обновление является последним в серии улучшений удобства, ранее были запущены функции входа через Passkey, мгновенной регистрации в Cash App и стабильного баланса. Breez также в августе выпустил демонстрационное приложение Glow для демонстрации возможностей этого SDK.Breez SDK — это набор инструментов для разработчиков, позволяющий приложениям добавлять биткойн-платежи без необходимости самостоятельно строить платежную инфраструктуру, охватывающий создание кошельков, отправку и получение платежей через сеть Lightning; разработчикам нужно всего лишь немного кода, чтобы предоставить функции биткойна, без необходимости запускать узлы или управлять ликвидностью.В июле этого года Breez объявил о сотрудничестве с Turnkey, позволяя разработчикам добавлять поддержку некастодиальных биткойнов в приложения, работающие на собственных серверах.

According to Financefeeds, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin publicly criticized Elon Musk's reforms to the X platform, believing that the changes in the platform's moderation policies have turned it into a breeding ground for hate speech and extremist ideologies.Vitalik stated that "the platform's removal of traditional moderation policies and prioritization of engagement metrics systematically amplifies extremism and hate content." He pointed out that Musk's centralized control as a single power holder demonstrates the inherent flaws of a non-decentralized platform, transforming the site into an ideological echo chamber, which goes against the principles of a "trustworthy neutral" public square.
