X402

The **X402 Token ($X402)** powers the **X402 Protocol** — a next-generation payment infrastructure built on Solana. By reviving the dormant HTTP **402 “Payment Required”** status code, X402 enables a seamless, machine-native payment layer for the internet. On Solana’s high-performance blockchain, $X402 transforms how **AI agents, apps, and services** handle payments — enabling **autonomous transactions** with near-zero fees and instant settlement. --- ## 🚀 Why X402 on Solana? * **400ms Finality** – Near-instant transactions, compared to multi-day settlement in traditional finance. * **Negligible Fees** – Costs as low as **$0.00025 per transaction**, a fraction of credit card processing (2–3%). * **Token Flexibility** – Works natively with **SOL, USDC, and all SPL tokens**, enabling universal payment interoperability. * **Massive Throughput** – Capable of handling **thousands of transactions per second** with no bottlenecks. * **Ecosystem-Ready** – Fully integrated with **Solana Pay, Helius Smart Transactions, Stripe, and Shopify**. --- ## 🛠️ What X402 Enables * **Autonomous AI Payments** – Agents can **self-orchestrate payments** for APIs, services, or digital goods. * **E-Commerce Integration** – Seamless plug-ins with **Stripe, Shopify, and Solana Pay**. * **Developer-Friendly** – A programmable payment standard that developers can embed into apps, protocols, or marketplaces. * **Next-Gen Financial Rails** – X402 is the **first protocol to make HTTP 402 real**, turning the web into a **native payments network**. --- ## 🌉 The X402 Flywheel * **X402 Token ($X402)** – The native utility token securing and powering payment flows. * **X402 Agents** – Autonomous bots that handle retries, signatures, and settlement. * **X402 Integration Layer** – Bridges Solana with global commerce platforms. --- ## 🧭 Vision The **X402 Protocol on Solana** represents a paradigm shift: a web where **“Payment Required”** is no longer a dead-end, but a **frictionless gateway to value exchange**. By uniting **Solana’s speed and scalability** with the **machine-native payment standard of HTTP 402**, $X402 aims to become the **default payment layer for AI, apps, and digital commerce worldwide**.
