    X Pay launches HTTP micropayment gateway on Base mainnet settling in USDC

    Question

    X Pay launches HTTP micropayment gateway on Base mainnet settling in USDC

    Direct answer

    X Pay officially launched its mainnet payment infrastructure on Coinbase's Base Layer-2 network. The protocol operationalizes the x402 web standard, allowing developers to monetize individual API calls and compute requests in real time. By settling transactions directly in USDC stablecoins, the gateway aims to remove traditional friction associated with recurring credit card subscriptions, manual invoicing, and API key provisioning.
