AI Agents Pay for API Calls with USDC Using New x402 Protocol
A developer built a functional API where AI agents pay per call using USDC on Base, reviving the HTTP 402 status code.
●Builder Action:This project demonstrates a functional implementation of the x402 protocol for pay-per-API-call models. Developers can adapt this Express.js architecture to secure their own APIs, defining payment requirements (USDC on Base) within 402 responses. Expect to manage on-chain transaction verification and integrate with a payment facilitator for real-world use.
