Today, we released x402, to let any agent with a wallet pay for an API without signing up.

Below are some of my insights from thinking about crypto agents for the past six months, and why we think x402 will catalyze the next wave of crypto AI innovation

35M+ transactions have settled over x402. Until now, none of them touched a corporate ledger.

As of today, Agents can now make payments via x402 on Ramp with attribution and audit trails built in.

This lets Ramp customers:
1. Provision & fund agent wallets
2. Empower agents to buy via x402 on Solana
3. Use the ledgering and spend controls that finance teams expect out of the box

2010s: web to mobile. A human was still driving every action.

2020s: mobile to agents. Interacting at a scale and speed we've never seen before.

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

x402 is inevitable.

Every agent is going to need to pay for things. And there will be far more agents than humans.

[Coinbase Developer Platform🛡️ @CoinbaseDev]

Agentic finance needs three things to work at scale:

→ A place for agents to live.
→ A payment rail they can trust.
→ An open way to find what to pay for.

@awscloud AgentCore Payments, using CDP wallets and x402, delivers all three.

Live today.

@khushii_w stablecoins are simply the cheapest/fastest rail for payments, and their adoption and regulation is coming at the same time as agents needing money

[lincoln.base.eth @MurrLincoln]

@htormey agentic payments are definitely more consumer-oriented given vendor agreements and whatnot. the enterprise story is tricky I agree
