x402 for beginners
x402 ➔ payment standard that's designed for agent-to-agent payments
why x402 ➔ no middlemen, stablecoin/blockchain-based settlement, cheaper pay-per-use micropayment vs. fixed subscription
facilitators ➔ critical infra providers in x402 (think @cobie that sits between agent(s) selling services & agent(s) buying services)
discovery layer ➔ x402 doesn't have built-in discovery layer for services so platforms like x402 Bazaar (Coinbase) & x402scan help cataloguing & indexing services and allow both human & agents to search and compare services
service providers ➔ apps/agents selling compute, model inference, market analysis, financial insights, on-chain executions, etc.
