Revolution in payment transactions: Coinbase and Cloudflare Start X402 Foundation!
On October 6, 2025, the two companies started a pioneering initiative by launching the X402 Foundation. This foundation has set itself the goal of promoting the use of AI-controlled payments. The partnership between the two technology gends was announced on Tuesday, September 23, and marked an important step in the further development of digital payment systems.
The x402 Foundation relies on the innovative x402 protocol, which creates a universal framework for real-time transactions with stablecoins. The aim is to revolutionize micropayments for creative people, usage-based AI services and agent-to-agent trading. A notable aspect of this protocol is the ability to embed payments directly into the web, enabling autonomous transactions between AI agents, businesses and applications.
Functions and applications
The X402 Foundation strives that X402 acts as the standard for AI payments and thus accelerates the growth of the agent merchant ecosystem. Cloudflare has also emphasized that the X402 protocol is not exclusively limited to new technologies, but can also monetize traditional use cases. For example, AI assistants who automatically shop at various dealers or autonomous stock traders who use micro payments could be among the new applications of the protocol.
Another advantage of the X402 system is to enable transactions without the need for accounts, subscriptions or API keys. This simplification could have a significant influence on the user experience in the area of digital payments and lead to this technology spread faster.
Developer support and scaling
A central concern of the X402 Foundation is the scaling of the protocol through targeted development scholarships and by providing necessary resources and interoperability. With this strategy, Coinbase and Cloudflare not only want to support the spread of the protocol, but also attract developers that drive innovative solutions in the field of AI payments.
The foundation of the X402 Foundation not only symbolizes the commitment of Coinbase and Cloudflare for the future of the digital payment landscape, but could also have far -reaching effects on different economic areas. The development and implementation of the X402 protocol promises to change the way we make and receive payments.
