402x Protocol: The Internet’s New Payment Standard

402x Protocol is reimagining internet payments, directly embedding micropayments and stablecoin settlement into HTTP. This innovative approach removes friction for businesses by enabling pay-per-use models and instant settlement for APIs, content, and IoT devices. Early partnerships with companies like Chainlink, Cal.com, Neynar, XMTP, and Boosty Labs show the growing momentum behind this ecosystem. However, wider adoption hinges on user experience and regulatory clarity.
