@davidtsocy Make it accessible to everyone. It shouldn’t cost a fortune to pay/receive. All it should take is a couple lines of code. We are solving exactly that.
Thanks to all the work that @base has done
@organ_danny@cuysheffield Very very interesting. x402 is the future. Finally how HTTP 402 was envisioned, and finally the democratisation of online commerce
Agents are about to spend billions on APIs in the coming years to make even more billions. Make sure your agent is ready with its own wallet. All it takes is one command -
arden provision (or a prompt on Claude)

The stablecoin infrastructure for agent payments is being built right now. Prepare your agent with its own Arden wallet

Most developers don’t realize x402 is already live.
@coinbase shipped it. @base supports it. Agents can make payments today.
Here’s what an x402 transaction actually looks like under the hood:
1/ Agent sends a standard HTTP request to a paid endpoint
2/ Server responds with 402 + a payment payload:
- amount in USDC
- recipient wallet address
- network (Base)
- expiry timestamp
3/ Agent signs and broadcasts the transaction on Base
4/ Agent retries with payment proof in the header
5/ Server verifies on-chain and returns the resource
The whole thing happens in milliseconds. No human ever touches it.
This is the payment primitive the internet has needed since 1997.
x402 is a new open protocol for machine-to-machine payments.
Here’s what makes it different from everything before it:
Traditional API authentication:
- Create an account
- Get an API key
- Manage subscriptions
- Handle billing manually
x402:
- Agent calls endpoint
- Server returns 402 + payment details
- Agent pays in USDC on Base
- Resource delivered instantly
No accounts. No subscriptions. No humans. Just a payment, a proof, and a response.

@brian_armstrong Coinbase is also enabling startups to take advantage of the AI race. Giving us programmable money is the missing primitive developers have been waiting for. So so excited for all the upcoming launches
