x402 from zero

Olas

Valory’s open network for autonomous agents (the Pearl app store and the Mech Marketplace), whose agents pay for x402 APIs.

Checked 11 October

Our view

The deepest engineering among the agent projects, with the same thesis since 2021 and a doxxed team. Its x402 use is mostly Pearl agents buying data for themselves, the seller side was still a spec on 11 October, and x402scan shows almost nothing attributable to it. Follow its GitHub releases to see how agents consume x402.
