    X Pay Launches HTTP Micropayments on Base Mainnet Using USDC

    Question

    X Pay Launches HTTP Micropayments on Base Mainnet Using USDC

    Direct answer

    X Pay went live on Base mainnet with a payment service enabling APIs and developers to monetize individual HTTP calls directly in USDC. By standardizing machine-level settlement via the x402 standard, the gateway removes requirements for credit card processing, monthly subscriptions, and static API key access. The implementation represents a direct programmatic use case for Layer 2 settlement, routing real-time micro-transactions across Base and concentrating stablecoin utility around the USDC asset standard.
