x402 is a blockchain-based payment standard that enables micropayments for web services using the HTTP 402 status code. It works through a stateless flow involving buyers, sellers, and optional facilitators that verify payments. The standard uses EIP-3009 tokens like USDC and EIP-712 signatures for payment authorization.
