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.
