x402 from zero

Cloudflare

The network company selling the seller side of x402: a Monetization Gateway in US-only closed beta since 30 September.

Checked 11 October

Our view

Cloudflare has shipped real x402 pieces: an Agents SDK that pays x402 (23 September 2025) and a Monetization Gateway beta that settles USDC on Base through Coinbase’s facilitator. The beta is US-only and publishes no fee or volumes, and its Wallets product could not hold funds yet. (The research did not score stewards; these labels are the site’s reading.)
