x402 hit 119M transactions — here's the layer that still isn't built

Short summary

x402 protocol reached 119M transactions enabling agents to pay per-access on Base blockchain; Cloudflare and Nous Research use it for pay-per-crawl and per-inference billing. Critical gap: x402 handles agent-as-consumer (paying for access) but not agent-as-principal (agents spending on behalf of humans within spending mandates). MnemoPay SDK (v1.0.0-beta.1) fills this with agent creditworthiness scoring and signed receipt tracking for accountability.

  • x402 hit 119M transactions; Cloudflare and Nous Research already using it for pay-per-crawl and per-inference billing on Base
  • Gap: x402 solves agent-as-consumer but not agent-as-principal—agents spending on behalf of humans with spending mandates
  • MnemoPay SDK provides agent creditworthiness scoring and signed receipts to enable agent commerce at scale
