## AI overview

The article recaps a webinar about x402, a protocol that uses HTTP 402 and stablecoins to let AI agents discover, pay for, and access web resources without human-managed accounts or API keys. It describes use cases including micropayments, budget-aware purchasing, and autonomous earning and spending.

## Source excerpt

X402 has processed roughly 200M transactions and $50B in volume, giving AI agents a stablecoin-native way to pay for web resources.
