Solana Surpasses Base in Daily Micropayment Transactions

Solana has surpassed Base in daily x402 micropayment transactions, according to recent data. This milestone marks the first time Solana has taken the lead in six months, with a total of 518,400 payments recorded on January 20, 2026.

Base trailed behind with 505,000 transactions during the same period. This shift highlights Solana's growing dominance in the AI-driven micropayment space, where it now captures around 70% of monthly x402 volume as of mid-August 2026.

The rise can be attributed to Ramp's integration of x402 AI agent wallet capabilities on Solana, targeting over 70,000 businesses and boosting stablecoin transactions, mainly in USDC. This development marks a significant change in how blockchains compete for automated, scalable payment infrastructure.
