PayAI
An x402 facilitator with discovery, SDKs and credits billing, centred on Solana and also on Base.
Checked 11 October
Our view
The best-evidenced token-bearing facilitator: 17 months of steady shipping, a dated price list, and on 13 September it withdrew its own market-share claims because they lacked a reproducible, dated denominator. On Base its business has largely gone, from 8.95M transactions in January 2026 to 24,346 in the 30 days to 11 October, and it costs more there than Coinbase’s facilitator.
