The x402 protocol is a Web3 API payment standard designed for AI agents that addresses the challenge of paying for API services in automated environments. The protocol builds on the HTTP standard 402 Payment Required status code and combines it with blockchain based payment mechanisms, allowing programs to automatically complete payments and settlement when requesting API services. Through this design, x402 provides new infrastructure for machine to machine service transactions on the internet.

Gate Research Institute: Over the past 24 hours, BTC briefly climbed above $71,000, but following a sharp drop and quick rebound during the U.S. market session, it settled back near $69,300.
