This is why x402 is so powerful: it simplifies and standardizes payments for AI agents.
Traditional payment rails are slow, have chargeback risks, and require manual intervention to work.

This will open up AI agents to be truly autonomous moving forward and will allow API providers to create new business models around the data and services that they provide both to agents and humans.
