x402 Agent Payments
The gateway supports HTTP 402 payments for premium tools. AI agents can autonomously pay for:
- Advanced analytics queries
- High-frequency price feeds
- Premium security scans
- Priority transaction submission
Payment flows through Sperax USDs on Arbitrum for auto-yield benefits — your payment balance earns 8-25% APY while waiting to be spent.
