Hi HN – excited to announce x402, initially developed by Coinbase (YC 12)x402 lets any HTTP API charge per request without issuing API keys or storing credit cards. Buyers (humans or AI agents) keep funds in their own wallet and dynamically discover compatible endpoints, call them as usual, and automatically pay a microtransaction in USDC or other tokens to settle.90 second demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PV-L2AfLhJgProblem: Every time we want to use a new API we have to: find the service online create a developer account, copy a secret key into env vars, pre-fund or hand over a credit cardThis flow blocks agents even more. They can’t solve CAPTCHAs or enter credit cards. It also hurts
