Cardano Joins Automated Internet Payments Market via x402 Integration
Cardano has integrated the x402 payment standard through an official SDK, enabling applications and AI agents to pay for API calls and online services using ADA or Cardano native tokens. This move puts Cardano alongside Solana and XRP Ledger in the emerging market for automated internet payments.
The rollout of this new feature is expected to boost on-chain utility and adoption for Cardano. The integration has also caused a surge in the price of ADA, with it rising about 6% in 24 hours.
