Cardano Gains Native Support in x402 Payments Protocol
- —Cardano was added to the official x402 repository with support for mainnet, preprod and preview
- —The implementation includes a client, server, facilitator and working examples for developers
- —Previously, x402 payments on Cardano were possible only through third-party projects such as Masumi
- —The x402 Foundation launched in July with support from AWS, Google, Visa, Mastercard, Stripe and Circle
Why it matters: Native support lowers the barrier for developers and expands the number of applications and AI agents accepting payments settled in Cardano.
