x402 from zero

Venice

A private AI app and API, valued at $1B in July 2026, where x402 top-ups let a wallet pay without an account.

Checked 11 October

Our view

The best example of an established AI product adding a no-account crypto door. The door is small: $5,279 of x402 top-ups in total from 201 payers, 55 of whom came back, beside a company that claims 2M API calls a day. Its x402 client has had no commit since 14 April.
