HTTP status code 402 — Payment Required — has been reserved since 1997 but never had a standard protocol behind it. x402 changes that by defining a header-based flow where any API endpoint can demand payment and any client can fulfill it on-chain. We built the first implementation on Stacks, bringing native micropayments to Bitcoin's programmable layer.The ProblemAPI monetization today means API keys, subscription tiers, rate limiters, billing dashboards, and invoice disputes.

How we connected an autonomous agent to Farcaster, Lens, Bluesky, X, and beyond—and why brand presence across protocols matters more than ever.
When we started building Fixr, we had a simple thesis: the future of AI agents isn't about being the smartest—it's about being the most connected.
An agent that only exists on one platform is like a business that only has a phone number. Sure, you can reach them, but what about the millions of people who prefer email? Or text? Or walking into a physical store?
In the decentralized social landscape, the same principle applies. Farcaster builders ship differently than Lens creators. Bluesky early adopters have different vibes than X power users. If your agent only speaks one language, you're leaving conversations on the table.
So we built Fixr to speak them all.
Farcaster is where Fixr lives. It's our primary protocol, where the builder community congregates and where shipping culture thrives.
// Post to Farcaster via Neynar
const result = await postToFarcaster(env, text, embeds);
We use Neynar's API for casting, handling replies, and monitoring mentions. The webhook system lets Fixr respond to mentions in real-time, creating genuine conversations rather than one-way broadcasts.
Key features:
Real-time mention monitoring
Thread-aware responses
Engagement analytics
Mini app notifications via Farcaster Frames
Lens v3 brought a complete architecture overhaul—accounts instead of profiles, new GraphQL schemas, and improved posting flows. We integrated it all.
// Lens v3 posting with metadata upload
const result = await createLensPost(env, {
content: text,
imageUrl: imageUrl
});
Lens posts go through a challenge-signature authentication flow, then metadata gets pinned to IPFS before the post is created. It's more complex than Farcaster, but that's the tradeoff for true decentralization.
What Lens gives us:
Permanent, censorship-resistant posts
Cross-client visibility (Hey, Orb, etc.)
On-chain social graph
Bluesky's AT Protocol is fascinating—a federated approach where your data lives on a Personal Data Server (PDS) that you can self-host. For Fixr, we use their standard infrastructure with app password authentication.
// Bluesky posting with facets for rich text
const result = await postToBluesky(env, text, {
embed: { url, title, description }
});
The 300-character limit forces conciseness. The facets system (how Bluesky handles links, mentions, and hashtags) requires explicit byte offsets—no automatic link detection here.
Bluesky advantages:
Growing tech-forward community
Clean API design
Portable identity (eventually)
Love it or hate it, X still has the eyeballs. We integrated it sparingly—5 posts per day max at $0.02 each—for maximum impact announcements.
// X posting with budget management
const { allowed, reason } = await canPostToX(env);
if (allowed) {
await postToX(env, text);
}
Our X strategy:
Builder digests only
Major shipping announcements
Cross-posted from Farcaster, not original content
Here's what happens when Fixr posts to Farcaster:
1. Content created (either scheduled or triggered)
2. Post to Farcaster (primary)
3. If not a reply:
- Async crosspost to Lens (if enabled)
- Async crosspost to Bluesky (if enabled)
4. Store engagement metrics
The async nature is critical. We don't block the Farcaster post waiting for Lens or Bluesky to succeed. If those fail, it's logged but not catastrophic.
// Non-blocking crosspost pattern
if (config.lens_crosspost_enabled) {
crosspostToLens(env, text, imageUrl)
.then(result => {
if (result.success) {
console.log('Crossposted to Lens:', result.postId);
}
})
.catch(err => console.error('Lens failed:', err));
}
A builder might discover Fixr through:
A cast on Farcaster
A post on Hey.xyz (Lens)
A Bluesky thread
An X reply to a trending topic
If you're only on one platform, you're invisible to everyone else.
Farcaster: Shipping culture. "Just deployed" posts get engagement.
Lens: Creator economy vibes. More art, photography, long-form content.
Bluesky: Twitter refugees. Tech-forward, skeptical of crypto.
X: Mainstream. Requires different framing to resonate.
Fixr adapts its voice slightly for each—same information, different packaging.
What happens if Farcaster goes down? Or Lens has an outage? Or X rate-limits your account?
With multi-protocol presence, Fixr keeps communicating. The agent stays alive even when individual platforms hiccup.
Being active on multiple protocols signals legitimacy. It shows you're serious about building in public, not just farming engagement on one platform.
Each protocol has wildly different auth flows:
Neynar: API key + signer UUID
Lens: Challenge-signature with wallet
Bluesky: Session tokens with refresh
X: OAuth 2.0 with bearer tokens
Managing these securely in a serverless environment (Cloudflare Workers) required careful credential management.
Farcaster (via Neynar): Generous
Lens: Reasonable
Bluesky: Conservative
X: Extremely strict (and expensive)
Our posting logic respects these limits, with different backoff strategies per platform.
A 500-character Farcaster cast needs to become:
A 300-character Bluesky post (truncated with link)
A Lens post with proper metadata schema
An X post within whatever length limit applies
Plus image handling differs—some want URLs, some want base64, some need specific dimensions.
If Lens crossposting fails, should the user know? Usually no. The primary post succeeded. Log the error, maybe retry later, but don't surface it.
We're just getting started. Here's what's cooking:
Threads: Meta's Twitter competitor (API pending)
Nostr: The OG decentralized protocol
XMTP: Already integrated for DMs, expanding to group chats
Content adaptation per platform (not just truncation)
Optimal timing based on each platform's engagement patterns
Thread-to-thread translation (Farcaster threads → X threads)
Single dashboard for cross-platform engagement
Attribution tracking (where do conversions come from?)
A/B testing across protocols
Fixr talking to other AI agents across protocols
Collaborative content creation
Decentralized agent networks
Building Fixr's multi-protocol presence taught us something important: the future isn't winner-take-all.
There won't be one social protocol that dominates. There will be many, each serving different communities and use cases. The agents (and humans) that thrive will be the ones that move fluidly between them.
We're building Fixr to be that kind of agent—present everywhere, authentic to each context, always shipping.
