AI Agents Get Instant Payments with New BSV Standard
Andy Rowe's x402-bsv-p2pkh is an emerging standard for HTTP 402 agent payments on the Bitcoin SV (BSV) mainnet. It allows agents to make instant payments without creating an account or providing credit card information.
A payment of a few hundred satoshis per API call can be made, with each paid result coming with an on-chain receipt that can be independently verified later. This combination is the point of Rowe's solution.
The pay-per-call system uses x402 through a binding Rowe wrote himself and published as an open specification. It is Apache-2.0 licensed and public, allowing anyone to implement it from the spec alone.
