#CardanoEvolution

Cryptocurrencies and artificial intelligence or AI can be a great combination, and for this reason, Cardano (ADA) has pointed out with the launch of x402. It is an open payment standard that will transform the landscape of AI agents,

the new standard as an important milestone for Cardano, and optimists are pleased at the prospect of expanding use cases.

Developed and designed for machine-to-machine transactions and with AI agents, x402 uses the HTTP status code "402 Payment Required," previously unused, to enable pay-per-use access. This payment standard, which leverages stablecoins and blockchain rails for settlement, will allow users to pay for resources without the complexity of signatures, records, and complicated emails.

"By not only implementing the address-to-address technology like most other blockchains but also by writing the standard to work with the Masumi smart contract, we are making our implementation of x402 the most powerful in the market."

Meanwhile, the stablecoin giant, Tether, already aspires to become the backbone of transactions with AI agents, positioning USDT and Bitcoin as payment currency.

Following the disclosure, the price of ADA rose by almost 2%, showing slight flashes of brilliance for the start of a rise towards 1 dollar. Amid the uproar, data from CoinMarketCap revealed that ADA$ADA has surpassed XRP $XRP , ETH $ETH , and SOL in community participation, with a bullish ecosystem sentiment.
