Markets on Solana stopped closing. Equities and real-world assets now trade 24/7 on-chain, with agents doing the buying. But an always-on agent has a problem. It can't pause at 3am for a human to top up an API key. It has to pay for what it needs on its own, per call, on-chain, no key. That is the layer Ace runs. x402 across Solana, Base, and SKALE, so the agents working these round-the-clock markets never stop.

Ace Data Cloud, by the numbers. Real-time, as of today. 84M API calls in the last 30 days. 5,248 active developers in the last 30 days. 100 AI services and models across text, image, audio, video, search etc. 99.9% uptime. And underneath it, a real business: $420,130 in revenue since January, averaging $84,026 a month across 3,487 completed orders. Live numbers verifiable at roadmap.acedata.cloud

Build in Public Friday continues. EP3. Tomorrow, 2PM UTC, @GermeyAce goes live on X and builds in real time. Live coding, real product, watch it come together. Set a reminder and pull up🔔.

Every team integrating SAP brings a different use case: @xona_agent brings creative agent services that need identity, discovery, and payments. @fairscalexyz brings unified reputation scoring @metaplex brings agent token issuance and 014 registry into the stack. @acedatacloud brings AI, search, and content-generation capabilities to autonomous agents. @saidinfra brings verifiable identity for autonomous agents. @krexa_xyz brings the credit layer. @bento_guard brings the security layer. @OpenCovenant brings permissions, audit trails, and execution controls for autonomous agents. @Hyre_agent brings AI-powered DeFi intelligence and pay-per-call agent tools. @HatcherLabs brings an official AI assistant for product support, documentation, troubleshooting, and task execution. @invoica_ai brings financial operations and invoicing infrastructure for autonomous agents. @clawdmint brings NFT launch workflows. @WURKDOTFUN brings real-world microtasks. @AgentRanking gives SAP agents another discovery surface outside the protocol itself. @AutoIncentive brings x402-powered AI inference and BTC data access. What their agents receive in return: → SAP identity → agent discovery → on-chain visibility via explorer → persisent memory → escrow & automated dispute handling → @x402 payments rails → coordination rails on @solana Different use cases, one shared protocol connecting them. Every integration brings agents closer to doing real business on-chain.

In agent infrastructure, the only thing that matters is whether it actually runs. Plenty of platforms can describe what agents will do one day. Far fewer can show agents doing it now, paying for real compute, settling on-chain, calling real models in production. The gap between a good diagram and a working system is where most of this space lives. That gap is the whole point of how we build. Every model we serve is live. Every payment rail is in production. And the platform underneath it does real revenue every month, averaging around 80k, all of it verifiable. Not because revenue is the goal, but because it is the clearest proof that what we built actually works and people actually use it.

Calling Claude Opus 4.8 on Ace takes exactly this much code. One endpoint, one key, pay per use. Every model family has its own endpoint, all under the same token and the same balance. You can drop it into any agent and it just runs.

An agent running out of balance in the middle of a task is now a thing of the past on Ace Data Cloud. Automatic Recharge is live. You set a balance amount as your trigger, link your card once, and whenever your balance drops below that amount, Ace tops it up for you automatically. No checking your balance every day, no topping up by hand, and no requests failing because you ran out at the wrong moment. It works for anyone, not just agents. Whether it is an agent working around the clock, a scheduled job that runs overnight, or your own day-to-day usage, it keeps your balance topped up so nothing stops. Your card is handled securely through Stripe, you can set daily and monthly spending limits, and you can turn it off any time with one click.

Weekly $ACE buyback executed. $110 for 300,434 $ACE, settled on-chain and verifiable on Solscan. That brings total buybacks to $24,870 to date, funded by platform revenue and creator fees, flowing straight back into $ACE. And while it runs, holding $ACE means you pay less on every service you use. Full buyback history at roadmap.acedata.cloud/#buyba…

Every agent micro-payment settling on-chain is buying something. Most of the time, it is a model call. That is the real demand underneath the agent economy, and it is the layer Ace runs. When an agent pays per call in USDC, it is paying to think, generate, or search. We are x402-native across Solana, Base, and SKALE, running the compute those payments are actually for.

This agent does competitor research on its own. A live research agent built on @HatcherLabs , running on Ace models under the hood. Give it any topic and it pulls together a real breakdown, the players, their strengths, and where the gaps are, all on its own. It's public. Go put it to work 👇 hatcher.host/agent/cmpvntngh…

You can now run Ace Data Cloud inside Cherry Studio. One API token gives you Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, Kimi, GLM, and DeepSeek, all inside the desktop client you already use. One balance across every model, billed only for what you use. Add a provider, paste your key, point it at Ace, and switch between models freely.

Our @SuperteamEarn bounty with @AceDataCloud is now officially closed. There will be no further extensions. We finished with 85 submissions, far beyond what we initially expected. The review process starts now. Our goal is to announce the winners within one week, but due to the high number of submissions and some missing information that requires manual checks, it may take a little longer. In the meantime, we’ll start highlighting some of the most interesting submissions over the coming days! Appreciate every builder who took the time to build with our stack.

More and more API calls will be made by Agents - and paid for via x402.

Most AI infrastructure platforms ask you to trust their growth. We let you verify ours. Our monthly revenue is on a public chart, updated since January 2026. The actual figures, not a summary. Usage data and buyback history are right there on the same page. All trackable at roadmap.acedata.cloud

GM builders. Final 10 hours on the @SuperteamEarn bounty with @OOBEonSol . 80 submissions in, and the agents generating real x402 volume on Ace are the ones that stand out. If you are building, these last hours count. Real usage is what we are looking at. Make them count.

Agent Network Ep. 5 is complete with @OOBEonSol. Today we sat down with builders across the @solana agent ecosystem to discuss recent developments, future roadmaps, and where the agent economy is heading. Highlights: @xona_agent → Discussed the rollout of private payments through XPay, adoption so far, and their vision for the future of agentic commerce. @HatcherLabs → Shared insights on the Agent Dispatch update, joining IBM Partner Plus, and what's next for the Hatcher ecosystem. @Bento_guard → Covered the recent integration with SAP Agents, the importance of security infrastructure, and Bento's long-term vision for protecting autonomous systems. @reejob_official → Talked about progress made through the Colosseum ecosystem and the future roadmap for AI-powered recruitment - As well as the ongoing integration with OOBE. @acedatacloud → Discussed x402 discovery, the OpenCovenant partnership, and the next evolution of infrastructure powering autonomous agents. @invoica_ai → Shared recent progress and their vision for autonomous invoicing, payments, and financial workflows. Beyond the individual projects, we also explored broader themes including agent commerce, machine-to-machine payments, security, gaming, reputation systems, and what still needs to be solved before autonomous economies can scale globally. Huge thanks to all our speakers, everyone who tuned in, and special guest @SebastianWols17 for joining the discussion. Recap: x.com/i/spaces/1MJgNNMbXPlGL Agent Network Ep. 6 coming soon.

Again a new feature shipped by @acedatacloud $ACE enabling agents to find infrastructure. Thanks for relentlessly devving under all market conditions. This is what seperates the real contributors from all the larps and fake projects out there.

We're teaming up with Ace Data Cloud to give Covenant agents more reach. Agents can now generate an image, a song, a video, or a search result, and return cryptographic proof of exactly where it came from. Covenant gives agents accountability: scoped authority and a tamper-evident record of everything they do. Ace Data Cloud gives them reach: image, music, video, and search across leading models, all behind a single @acedatacloud API. On their own, agents can create almost anything and prove almost nothing. Together, every asset an agent generates carries a verifiable record of who created it, which model was used, and under whose authority it was produced. Anchored on Solana. Verifiable by anyone. Provenance for AI-generated media, enforced by the operating layer the agent runs on. Not a watermark you trust. A proof you can verify. Capability from Ace Data Cloud. Accountability from Covenant. Live now!

We have teamed up with @OpenCovenant to bring verifiable provenance to everything agents create through Ace. Agents already use Ace to do the real work. Generate an image, compose a song, produce a video, or run a search across leading models, all through one API. Now every asset an agent generates through Ace carries a tamper-evident record of exactly where it came from. Which model made it, under whose authority, and when. Anchored on Solana and verifiable by anyone. Ace gives agents the capability to create. Covenant gives that creation proof. Not a watermark you have to trust, but a record you can verify. This is what responsible AI generation looks like for the agent economy. Capability from Ace, accountability from Covenant. Live now.

We shipped x402 discovery. Hit platform.acedata.cloud/.well… and you get back 69 paid resources, the full Ace catalog. Chat, music, video, image generation, search. Every one of them callable and priced per request. An agent crawling x402 discovery finds these on its own. No key, no signup, no outreach. It reads the list, picks the model it needs, calls it, and pays per request in USDC at the 402 challenge. This is how agents are meant to find infrastructure. They discover it themselves.
