The x402 protocol was developed by Coinbase in partnership with Cloudflare to simplify microtransactions and enable payments between AI agents.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The standard was introduced in May 2025. The idea behind the x402 protocol is to embed payment operations into HTTP messages. More details:<\/p>\n<p>In its press release, the Linux Foundation, which supports open-source software, announced the launch of the x402 Foundation unit. It is expected to drive the protocol\u2019s development and broader adoption.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Cloudflare, Stripe, Amazon Web Services, Coinbase, Circle, the Solana Foundation, and others have already joined the x402 Foundation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Moving the protocol under the Linux Foundation\u2019s umbrella means the solution becomes neutral \u2014 with no centralized control \u2014 industry-wide, and fully open. A similar model is used by solutions such as Kubernetes, Hyperledger, and OpenAPI.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe internet was built on open protocols. The x402 Foundation will create an open, community-governed platform to develop these capabilities in the open, ensuring they evolve with transparency, interoperability, and broad participation across the ecosystem,\u201d said Linux Foundation Executive Director Jim Zemlin.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Interest in x402 is driven by the trend toward the so-called agent economy. It is a system in which AI carries out all actions, including payments.<\/p>\n<p>According to various experts, the traditional banking system is not suited for these purposes.\u00a0Several companies and teams are working on building \u201crails\u201d for AI payments.<\/p>\n<p>For example, in February 2026, the MoonPay platform unveiled its solution \u2014 MoonPay&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/incrypted.com\/en\/coinbases-ai-payments-protocol-has-received-support-from-the-linux-foundation\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coinbase\u2019s AI Payments Protocol Has Received Support From the Linux Foundation https:\/\/incrypted.com\/en\/coinbases-ai-payments-protocol-has-received-support-from-the-linux-foundation\/ Publish Date: 2026-04-03&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[71],"class_list":["post-230639","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-linux","tag-linux"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230639"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=230639"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230639\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=230639"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=230639"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=230639"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
