x402 from zero

Coinbase CDP

Coinbase’s developer platform: the main x402 facilitator, the Bazaar catalogue of paid endpoints and the reference SDKs.

Checked 11 October

Our view

The baseline every other project is measured against. Its facilitator settled 91% of Base x402 transactions in the six months to 11 October (x402scan), and its price, 1,000 free settlements a month and then $0.001 each, sets the floor for every rival. Follow its changelog for pricing, scheme and Bazaar policy changes.
