Svmuu reports that Coinbase's x402 protocol has gone live on Injective, allowing AI agents to autonomously pay service fees. The protocol enables AI agents to pay for API calls in real-time without requiring accounts, subscriptions, or human intervention.
The system utilizes the previously reserved HTTP 402 status code "Payment Required" to construct the payment process. The entire process completes with just a single HTTP interaction, reducing operational complexity. With single-block settlement, deterministic finality, and approximately 650-millisecond latency, Injective allows agents to complete payments before making their next decision.
