x402 Went From Experiment to Industry Standard
In early 2026, x402 crossed a threshold.
Stripe launched x402 payments on Base in February, letting developers charge AI agents directly in USDC. Google released the Agent Payments Protocol (AP2), with x402 as its first crypto extension — built alongside Coinbase, MetaMask, and the Ethereum Foundation. Cloudflare co-founded the x402 Foundation with Coinbase and shipped native x402 support into their Agents SDK, including paidTool for charging per MCP tool call. x402 V2 dropped with wallet-based sessions, automatic API discovery, and a modular plugin SDK.
The infrastructure players have placed their bets. x402 is becoming the payment rail for the agent economy.
But if you're a developer building an AI agent right now, a fair question remains: what can your agent actually buy with x402 today?
Spraay: 70 Endpoints, 12 Categories, One Payment Protocol
Spraay is an x402 payment gateway live at gateway.spraay.app. It exposes 70 pay-per-call endpoints across 12 categories — all payable in USDC on Base. No API keys. No accounts. No subscriptions.
Your AI agent sends a request, gets a 402 response with pricing, pays in USDC, and receives the data. That's it.
Here's what's available:
Data & Intelligence
- Oracle — real-time price feeds, gas estimates, FX rates ($0.008)
- Analytics — wallet scoring, portfolio analysis, risk profiling ($0.01)
- AI Inference — 93 models across dual providers: BlockRun (43 models) + OpenRouter (50 models) ($0.04)
- Indexer — cross-chain tx history, balances, NFTs ($0.008)
Financial Primitives

Robotics (RTP) — 6 Live Endpoints
This is new. Spraay implements the Robot Task Protocol (RTP), an open standard for AI agents to discover, commission, and pay for physical robot tasks via x402.
- Register Robot — register capabilities, pricing, connection config (free)
- Dispatch Task — pay x402 to send a task, escrow holds until completion ($0.05)
- Complete Task — robot reports result, escrow releases or refunds (free)
- Discover Robots — filter by capability, chain, price, status ($0.005)
- Task Status — poll lifecycle: PENDING → DISPATCHED → COMPLETED ($0.002)
- Robot Profile — full capability and pricing details ($0.002)
Infrastructure
- RPC — premium multi-chain RPC via Alchemy, 7 chains ($0.001)
- IPFS/Arweave — permanent storage via Pinata ($0.01)
- Cron/Scheduler — recurring payments, DCA triggers ($0.01)
- Logging — structured log ingestion for debugging agent workflows ($0.002)
Identity, Compliance & More

Why This Matters for Agent Builders
Most x402 content is still theoretical. Spraay is operational. If you're building on LangChain, CrewAI, Google ADK, Cloudflare Agents, or any MCP-compatible framework, these are endpoints you can hit today:
# Your agent needs to pay 5 contributors
POST gateway.spraay.app/api/v1/batch
# Your agent needs Claude or GPT-4o inference
POST gateway.spraay.app/api/v1/ai/chat
# Your agent needs to search the web
POST gateway.spraay.app/api/v1/search/web
# Your agent needs to run an image model on GPU
POST gateway.spraay.app/api/v1/gpu/run
# Your agent needs to dispatch a robot task
POST gateway.spraay.app/api/v1/robots/task
One gateway. One payment protocol. 70 capabilities.
The MCP Server: 60+ Tools
Spraay ships an MCP server with 60+ tools — listed on the Official MCP Registry, Smithery, and integrated with Goose. If your agent framework supports MCP (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Google ADK, Cloudflare Agents SDK), your agent gets access to the full endpoint catalog through tool discovery.
The flow:
- Agent discovers available tools via MCP
- Selects the right tool for its task
- Pays via x402 on Base
- Receives the result
No custom integration code. No SDK to install.
Quick Start
Option 1: Direct x402 requests
import { createClient } from "x402-client";
const client = createClient({
baseUrl: "https://gateway.spraay.app",
privateKey: process.env.EVM_PRIVATE_KEY, // Wallet with USDC on Base
});
// Fetch live ETH price — pays $0.008 USDC automatically
const prices = await client.get("/api/v1/prices");
// Batch send USDC to multiple wallets — pays $0.02 USDC
const tx = await client.post("/api/v1/batch", {
token: "USDC",
recipients: [
{ address: "0xabc...", amount: "10.00" },
{ address: "0xdef...", amount: "20.00" }
]
});
Option 2: MCP tool discovery
{
"mcpServers": {
"spraay": {
"url": "https://smithery.ai/server/@plagtech/spraay-x402-mcp"
}
}
}
Your agent will automatically discover all 60+ tools with x402 payment handling built in.
What's Next
Spraay is actively expanding:
- More chains — already live on 11 chains (Base, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, Solana, BNB, Avalanche, and more), with SUI and Stacks deployments next
- ProofLayer — on-chain trust scores and behavioral attestations for AI agents
- Virtuals Protocol ACP — registered as a service provider for agent-to-agent commerce
- Pricing refinements — optimizing tiers across AI inference, escrow, and oracle endpoints
The x402 ecosystem is still early — recent data shows the protocol processing modest daily volumes as real use cases ramp up. But the infrastructure is here. Stripe, Google, and Cloudflare have validated the standard. Now it needs endpoints worth paying for.
Spraay is building those endpoints.
