    Question

    X Pay Launches HTTP-Level USDC Settlement Gateway on Base Mainnet

    Direct answer

    X Pay introduced a protocol-level payment gateway enabling web services and APIs to charge for single HTTP requests with instant USDC settlement on the Base layer-2 network. The service leverages the x402 standard to automate payment negotiation directly between machines. By replacing multi-tier subscription models and manual API key provisioning with automated crypto settlements, the launch provides infrastructure for machine-to-machine transactions and on-demand software consumption.
