Just got to know about it yesterday… so coinbase apparently already hv a micropayment protocol that is meant for ai agents to use.
what is x402?
Payments on the internet are fundamentally flawed. Credit cards are high friction, hard to accept, have minimum payments that are far too high, and don't fit into the programmatic nature of the internet. It's time for an open, internet-native form of payments. A payment rail that doesn't have high minimums plus a percentage fee. Payments that are amazing for humans and AI agents.
what is used for?
x402 enables instant, low-cost payments for digital services. It's designed for API monetization, agentic commerce, paywalled content, and any scenario where traditional payment methods are too slow or expensive.
