    Someone has already reserved my very unique company name and a bunch of variants.

    Without domain validation, what is this user's intention other than fraud/impersonation?

    I've already got an active impersonator running a website under my brand name and confusing my customers.

    This is interesting but how do site operators cash out? Is is non-custodial only like binance?

    Cloudflare is certainly making a full court press to provide infra for the agentic web. My own ability to see whats coming also believes we need wallets, agent protocols, cloud services for agents, etc. So, maybe this is the way.

    At the same time, something tells me what is coming isn't going to be as recognizable as these products build for.

      What are some examples of what you see coming that requires agent wallets or agent protocols (I’m not 100% sure what that means tbh) or agent cloud services (what makes these different from regular cloud services?)

      The only thing I see that’s unique for “agents” when it comes to cloud services is finally paying attention to provisioning speed and developer iterations.

      Last year, for the first time in my career, I heard c-suite exec concerned about projects with multi-hour long CI or deployments that take hours because “agents can’t be successful” as they need to iterate way more.

      Their bets are naturally hedged because a lot of their infra is just nice AWS-lite.

    It feels like Cloudflare keeps inserting itself in between everything, everywhere it can. So convenient you'll middleman yourself. I do not like this.

    What a stupid move! So, you have a Workers subdomain, a Zero Trust subdomain, and now a Wallet subdomain - one company with random handles! Cloudflare does not get identity!

      For example, Meta does. When they started offering reserved usernames on Facebook, they gave advance notice and gave everybody an equal start. With WhatsApp usernames, they also allowed you to pick your Instagram username or your Facebook username. That's how it should be done. What Cloudflare did is basically push me not to use their offering, because I couldn't get my username. I'm not going to rebrand just for them! I'm sure most were reserved by crooks, not real customers, to blackmail the legit parties!

    Cloudflare's in a good position to be an agent infra provider. Durable objects and serverless/workers are great agent primitives.

    It makes sense that they're leaning into an all-in-one platform play, i.e. if you use DOs, you might as well use our wallet/sandbox/AI gateway/etc. too.

    Agentic commerce is such an interesting space!

    Alipay and Coinbase already have similar offerings in market.
