  • —Payments settle in USDC and USDT on Base with no transaction limits
  • —x402 uses EIP-3009 for gasless transfers, suited to sub-$0.10 payments
  • —Base processed over 138 million x402 transactions by Q3 2026
  • —87% of x402 transactions cost less than $0.10
Why it matters: It marks one of the first uses of x402 to buy tangible assets, pushing agent payments beyond API micropayments.
