Block Joins x402 Foundation to Set Agentic Commerce Standards
Original: Block Joins x402 Foundation to Drive Agentic Commerce Standards
Block has joined the x402 Foundation, an effort to establish shared standards for agentic commerce — AI-powered systems making and receiving payments autonomously. The x402 protocol, originally developed around Coinbase's stablecoin payments work, enables machine-to-machine transactions over HTTP. By joining the foundation, Block signals its intent to help shape how automated AI agents transact commercially as the technology matures.
Why now: Agentic commerce is a fast-growing area, and Block's involvement signals major fintech players are moving to set the standards early.
