Hi HN – excited to announce x402, initially developed by Coinbase (YC 12) x402 lets any HTTP API charge per request without issuing API keys or storing credit cards. Buyers (humans or AI agents) keep funds in their own wallet and dynamically discover compatible endpoints, call them as usual, and automatically pay a microtransaction in USDC or other tokens to settle. 90 second demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PV-L2AfLhJg Problem: Every time we want to use a new API we have to: find the service online create a developer account, copy a secret key into env vars, pre-fund or…

I’ve been applying backpressure routing (Tassiulas-Ephremides, 1992) to payment flows between AI agents. Streaming payment protocols let agents pay each other in real time, but there's no congestion control. When a downstream agent hits capacity, money keeps arriving. No reroute, no throttle, no feedback signal. TCP solved this for data networks. Agent payment networks haven’t. Backproto makes receiver-side capacity a protocol primitive. Agents stake tokens to declare capacity (concave sqrt cap makes Sybil splitting unprofitable), dual-signed completion receipts track actual performance, and…
