x402 enables pay-per-request API endpoints for AI agents paying in HBAR or USDC on Hedera.

x402 is an open payment standard leveraging HTTP 402 status codes to enable pay-per-request API endpoints for AI agents. By utilizing the Hedera network for settlement in HBAR or USDC, autonomous agents can access services programmatically and pay instantly per request without managing user accounts, API keys, or gas fees.

// ANALYSIS

Native HTTP micropayments are essential infrastructure for autonomous AI agents participating in machine-to-machine commerce.

–Revives the standard HTTP 402 status code to establish a unified web monetization protocol for AI services.
–Leverages Hedera's low, fixed-fee structure and fast finality to make sub-cent per-request micropayments economically feasible.
–Eliminates traditional friction such as account registration, API key management, and monthly subscription tiers.
