What is x402 Foundation?
The x402 Foundation is a partnership initiative led by Cloudflare and Coinbase to advance the adoption of the x402 protocol, a standardized framework for machine-to-machine digital asset transactions over HTTP. The foundation focuses on developing open standards, fostering interoperability, and supporting developers in implementing x402 for seamless, automated payments across web services. It aims to create a robust ecosystem where websites and automated agents can negotiate and execute payments globally without requiring accounts or API keys.
