On February 13th, Coinbase’s Developer Platform (CDP) launched an SQL API supporting x402 payments—enabling AI agents to access Base’s indexed data (blocks, transactions, token transfers, decoded events) on demand, with no API key, account registration, or manual intervention required. Each SQL query costs a flat $0.10, settled instantly on-chain via USDC. The x402 protocol streamlines the payment flow: an agent receives a 402 error response with the payment request, signs a USDC payment proof, and immediately gets the query results.

On February 13th, DeFiance Capital CEO Arthur posted on Medium, highlighting a full transformation in the cryptocurrency market: shifting from a venture capital-backed, growth-focused valuation system to a cash flow-centric model—framing this as the most reliable path to deliver substantial returns for investors. “VC-style crypto is dead; cash flow-style crypto is eternal,” Arthur wrote. “All future projects I invest in must be pure cash flow businesses—able to recoup all invested capital within 6 to 12 months and deliver a 3x to 5x return solely from cash flow.

**Feb 13: Openclaw Founder Rejects Big Offers, Prioritizes Open-Source** Openclaw founder Peter Steinberger confirmed in a recent interview with Lex Fridman that the project has fielded acquisition offers from multiple companies. When asked about potential funding in the hundreds of millions or billions of dollars, he said: *“I’m simply not interested. Having been a CEO before, I know this path would consume all my time and create conflicts of interest—like prioritizing the enterprise edition or changing the open-source license, moves that would harm the community. What I want is unconditionally fully free and open-source software.”* He added donations alone aren’t sustainable, noting even popular projects like Tailwind are laying off staff. Additionally, Steinberger disclosed Openclaw is operating at a loss: monthly revenue ranges from $10,000 to $20,000, but subsidizing personal maintenance for dependent projects (even with support from firms like OpenAI) remains unsustainab
