Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR)

🧵 Hedera has integrated Coinbase’s x402 payment standard, bringing a web native micropayments pattern into the Hedera developer stack. @coinbase introduced x402 to let websites and applications request payments over the internet as part of the same interaction. On @hedera, this approach can reduce common payment friction, including account creation, subscription workarounds, and checkout redirects. The x402 design supports pay per use pricing for small charges that are often inefficient with traditional payment rails. Practical examples include paying a few cents for an API call, pulling data from a service, accessing an article, or triggering a translation request. This matters as software becomes more autonomous. AI tools and agents increasingly interact with services on their own and need payment flows that can run programmatically in real time. x402 is not exclusive to Hedera. Multiple networks can support the standard. The larger signal is that Coinbase is pushing a shared payment primitive for micropayments across ecosystems. Hedera can be a strong fit for automated micropayments because predictable fees and reliable execution matter when payments are frequent and machine driven. With x402 support on Hedera, developers can adopt a consistent pattern while choosing the rail that best matches their cost and reliability requirements. The real proof will be adoption. Watch for Coinbase ecosystem tools, APIs, and applications that implement x402 flows and for Hedera based services that enable pay per use at scale. 👉🏻 https://t.co/v0dhmD9mb9
