    X Pay Launches HTTP Micropayments Gateway Settling in USDC on Base

    Question

    X Pay Launches HTTP Micropayments Gateway Settling in USDC on Base

    Direct answer

    X Pay has launched an automated payment gateway on the Base mainnet network, leveraging the x402 payment protocol to allow software platforms and APIs to charge for individual HTTP requests with direct USDC settlement. The model eliminates standard friction points such as merchant account registration, recurring credit card subscriptions, and manual API key generation. By facilitating programmatic per-request micro-transactions, the deployment provides practical infrastructure for machine-to-machine payments and agentic software integrations settling on Layer-2 blockchain rails.
