These days, x402 is a hot topic. I found an article that explains what x402 is in an easy-to-understand way, so I'm translating and sharing it. 👇 There are many questions about what x402 is, and here are the reasons why you should be interested: a) Background: -x402 protocol allows agents to make on-chain payments. The 2025 "State of Crypto" report by @a16zcrypto specifically mentioned x402 in the context of agent payments, predicting that the value of autonomous transactions will reach $30 trillion by 2030. -This is referred to as the "Payments MCP" [Model Context Protocol]. In simple terms, MCP allows agents to interact with real data, so payments MCP enables agents to transact with their own wallets. b) Backers: @coinbase + @Cloudflare -Because of these backers, most of this activity can be seen on @base d. It also supports cross-chain (Solana, Polygon, Near, etc.). -This is the reason why several @virtuals_io x402 agents have surged in the past few days. Many agents in the virtual ecosystem use the x402 protocol. c) Related x402 Protocols: -@pingobserver - the first token issued by x402. -@heurist_ai -@virtuals_io -@questflow -@AnchorBrowser -@GoKiteAI announced a partnership with @brevis_zk for agent payment privacy this week. They also use x402. -@Cloudflare Agents SDK + Google A2A payment protocol. -@PayAINetwork -$DREAM (Virtuals) -$SANTA (Virtuals) -$GLORIA (Virtuals) -$AURA (Virtuals) The list can go on, so I recommend doing your own research (DYOR) before investing blindly. This is not financial advice; it is simply related to the use of x402 and does not necessarily mean that value is accumulated in these tokens. Rather, it is more likely that the value will be reflected in the coin that is the backer of the protocol itself. You can check the list. d) Others: 1.@circle has a continuous relationship with Coinbase, and stablecoins are used to pay for computing costs and other expenses for these agents. As you might expect, USDC is likely to be the stablecoin used here. 2.Neobanks are preparing for AI agent payments: -@Tether_to has released a wallet development kit. The important point is that trillions of wallets are expected. Most of these trillions will not be human wallets, so think carefully about who will use them. -@useTria has partnered with several AI protocols, and this week, payment privacy has come to the forefront as they partnered with @billions_ntwk for zkKYC. -@Visa + @Mastercard announced an AI agent program a few months ago and are building infrastructure for trillions of transactions. Almost all cards from these neobanks are VISA/Mastercard. -@PayPal Ventures led Kite AI's $18 million Series A. Will PyUSD become the dark horse for agent stablecoin usage? Next steps: Robots will have their own cryptocurrency wallets with virtual cards for making payments in the real world. Welcome to the world of physical AI! 3. @a16zcrypto's AI report specifically mentioned x402 when discussing AI agents and payments, predicting that the scale of agent transactions will reach $30 trillion by 2030. 4.@RibbitCapital released the 2025 "Token Letter" discussing agents + payments. -Page 1/2: AI systems are economic participants that generate revenue and incur expenses. -Page 33/34: Startups like Stripe and PayOS will capture a lot of value in building this infrastructure for agents. -Page 33-35: Stablecoins and programmable money will be used for payments and asset management by both humans and agents. -Page 39/40: AI agent payments will become a new financial rail for autonomous entities. In summary, the economy of AI agents + payments seems to be continuously growing. x402 is positioning itself as a key player in this explosive growth of payment platforms. Now that the puzzle is solved, will you take advantage of this upward potential? A model that earns fees from trillions of transactions is quite a good idea. @vultisig @SentientAGI @openmind_agi
