x402: Building Pay-Per-Request APIs for AI Agents
September 25 @ 11:40 am - 12:10 pm
Algorand Developers announces Brian Whippo (@SilentRhetoric), their Senior Director of Tooling & Integrations, is speaking at WeAreDevelopers World Congress North America in San José, CA, on September 23-25, 2026.
His talk covers x402, an HTTP 402-based protocol for pay-per-request APIs where clients pay directly via crypto (such as USDC) on each call without API keys or subscriptions.
The standard enables AI agents to autonomously discover, price, and pay for API services through a simple request-402-pay-proof flow, aligning with Algorand’s fast, low-cost blockchain for machine-to-machine transactions.
