What is x402 payment protocol?

x402 is a payment protocol built by Stripe and Coinbase that enables AI agents to pay for API requests directly with cryptocurrency. It allows seamless machine-to-machine payments without API keys or accounts.

How do AI agents pay for APIs with Apiosk?

AI agents pay per API request using USDC on the Base blockchain through the x402 protocol. No API keys, accounts, or subscriptions are needed - agents simply pay and call the API endpoint.

What is an x402 payment gateway?

An x402 payment gateway like Apiosk processes payments from AI agents to APIs using the x402 protocol. It handles payment verification, settlement, and routing so API providers can monetize their services with autonomous agent payments.
