The x402 protocol will define a new era of technology, especially in the fields of robotics, artificial intelligence, and decentralized systems.
Recently, @openmind_agi, a company that develops an open-source operating system for robots, implemented the x402 protocol on its robots (Iris). Now the robots can buy you snacks, pizza, and other things. utilizing stablecoins directly.
Just so you know, Algorand is one of the few blockchains that has already been integrated with the x402 protocol.
