In an era where artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping the content industry, AKEDO is taking a crucial step. As a revolutionary AI-generated media platform, AKEDO is the first to integrate the x402 protocol , an open payment standard launched by Coinbase, building the world's first multimedia ecosystem that supports autonomous payments and creation by AI agents . Through this integration, AKEDO not only achieves a closed loop between AI generation and value transfer at the technical level, but also injects a completely new production relationship into the creator economy of the Web3 era.



I. AKEDO: Making AI a creator of creators



AKEDO's vision is to enable every individual and every AI to unleash their creativity in the same environment.



The platform integrates AI-native 3D asset generation, image creation, video compositing, and game generation capabilities, providing creators with cross-media production tools. Unlike traditional generative platforms, AKEDO not only enables AI to "generate," but also enables AI to "pay."



With the help of the X402 protocol, AI agents can directly exchange value with external models, material libraries or third-party services without the need for centralized accounts or API keys, forming an autonomous settlement closed loop between machines .



When AI needs to call upon more powerful rendering models, purchase materials, or access on-chain resources, it can automatically complete the payment and usage, achieving true autonomous creation, autonomous consumption, and autonomous collaboration .



II. AKEDO Achieves a 100-Fold Leap in Productivity Through Protocol



AKEDO achieves full-process automation from creative intent to model invocation, payment settlement, and content production through deep integration with the x402 protocol, enabling AI agents to autonomously complete task coordination and economic settlement.



For example, on AKEDO, creators can pre-deposit funds into 10 AI agents and assign them to generate different works based on their personal IP personas. If each agent produces 10 pieces of content (images, videos, or mini-games) per day, they can obtain 100 finished products in one day. In a traditional process, this might involve thousands of API calls and thousands of micropayments;



In the AKEDO system, all settlements are completed automatically via x402, with the entire process taking only about one minute. This means that creators' productivity will increase by more than a hundred times , thus realizing true "economic autonomy" for AI.





III. AKEDO Technical Architecture and Value Transfer Mechanism



The AKEDO platform's underlying design is based on the core principles of "openness, autonomy, and composability," and consists of three core components:




  1. $AKE General Payment Layer

    As the platform's native token, $AKE will become the main payment medium within and outside the AKEDO ecosystem, deeply integrated with the x402 protocol, and used for settling AI service calls, creator revenue distribution, and platform incentives.

  2. AKECredits General Settlement Layer

    This is AKEDO's internal micro-payment points system, which supports higher frequency API-level settlements, ensuring that AI-to-AI calls and settlements can be completed at low cost and high efficiency.

  3. AKEDO Open API

    The platform will gradually open up its API interfaces, enabling external developers, creators, and AI teams to directly build their own content proxies, generation models, or interactive experiences on AKEDO's generation engine.



Through this three-layer system, AKEDO has established a multimedia infrastructure that combines financial programmability with creative freedom , providing a standardized payment and collaboration framework for the future AI economy.



IV. x402 Integration Testing Phase and Future Opening Plans



Currently, AKEDO has completed the core functional integration of the x402 protocol, and the testing phase has officially begun .

During the testing period, AKEDO will focus on validating the following scenarios:




  • AI agents automatically call external models for payment and settlement;

  • Resource rental and content re-creation between AIs;

  • A transparent settlement process for users to entrust AI with content production.



Once testing is complete, AKEDO will fully open up the x402 feature and simultaneously release developer documentation, SDK, and API toolkits to encourage more teams to build their own AI economy within the AKEDO ecosystem.



V. Launchpad Goes Live: The Starting Point for Igniting the Agent World



In addition to the integration of underlying protocols, AKEDO's Launchpad platform will also be officially launched soon.

Launchpad will serve as an incubation platform for AI projects, creators, and agents, allowing developers to issue AI tokens based on the $AKE economic system. Through integration with the x402 protocol, these AI agents can directly conduct on-chain payments, content creation, and revenue distribution. This means that users are not merely "issuing a token," but rather creating a functional, payable, and evolving AI entity .



As more and more users generate their own AI Tokens through Launchpad, AKEDO will form an AI economic network of thousands of entities with payment and collaboration capabilities, constituting a true Agent ecosystem.



VI. Conclusion



AKEDO's integration of the x402 protocol is not only a technological upgrade, but also a significant milestone in the fusion of AI and blockchain.

This signifies that the infrastructure for the AI-driven agentic economy is taking shape: AI has payment capabilities, creators have an ecosystem of automated settlements, and platforms have become the stage for collaboration across all things.



With the gradual implementation of the payment layer, AKECredits settlement layer, and open API, AKEDO is laying the foundation for the future AI-driven creative ecosystem. This is not only a technological revolution, but also a reconstruction of the way creativity and value flow are expressed.
