A new narrative x402 powered by @Coinbase and Google. In simple terms x402 is an open source, internet native payment protocol launched by @Coinbase It leverages the HTTP 402 “Payment Required” status code to allow instant micropayments in stablecoins (like USDC) directly between AI agents, apps, and users without accounts, subscriptions, or complicated blockchain integrations. Key idea: AI agents and web apps can now pay for services, data, or tools autonomously in real time just like humans but at machine speed. Here are features of x402 ➤ AI agents pay each other automatically ➤ Cross chain: Works on Base, Solana, Polygon, NEAR, and more. ➤ Enterprise ready: Backed by Coinbase, Cloudflare, Visa, Google, AWS. ➤ Open standard: Anyone can integrate; minimal setup required. This solves ➤ The internet’s long standing micropayment problem. ➤ Enables frictionless payments for APIs, AI compute, data access, or content. ➤ Lets AI agents operate independently buying what they need to get work done. ➤ Makes microtransactions practical with no middlemen and no chargebacks x402 Tokens $PING @pingobserver : First token minted on Base via x402, continuous IDO style $HEU @heurist_ai $SANTA @santavirtuals $DREAMS @daydreamsagents $MRDN @mrdn_finance Analytics @x402scan Image Credit : @withhimu
