SOUTH KOREA ON THE MOON WITH Q402
South Korea is making bold moves in cutting-edge tech, and one standout example right now is in the AI agent economy space with Q402 (also styled as x402 in some contexts).
Q402 is an innovative protocol described as the first unified sign-to-pay execution and governance layer for agent-driven, policy-aware automation. It's built to enable secure, scalable transactions and governance for AI agents — think autonomous AI systems handling commerce, payments, and decisions with built-in rules and verification.
RECENT HIGHLIGHTS
The team behind Quack AI @Quack AI Official just dropped a dedicated Korean whitepaper breaking down Q402 specifically for the Korean market and ecosystem. It's not just a translation — it's a practical deep dive into how this layer enables AI governance at scale in real-world agent automation.This ties into broader momentum in Korea around AI and agentic systems:
UPCOMING EVENTS
Events like the upcoming "x402 Korea on Base" workshop in Seoul (Jan 26, 2026) are bringing builders together to experiment with Q402 v2 specs, PoCs from local teams, and contributions to open-source SDKs (e.g., Python support). It's positioned as a key building block for AI agentic commerce on platforms like Base.
South Korea's overall push into sovereign AI, advanced automation, and next-gen tech makes it a natural hub for pioneering protocols like this.
So much more is cooking with Q402! Stay tuned on the moon! $Q
