Leveraging x402 and Pinata Pinata recently released our x402 implementation that lets our users monetize content via their dedicated gateways. This functionality opens up a whole new world of possibilities for Pinata users, and a big use case we're excited about is data feeds. Specifically data feeds that

Hot takes, memes, and a wave of “we would never.” Most conveniently forget their own outages buried in old postmortems and support messages. People all shout for decentralization. Everybody ignores a universal
