Payments settle on a per-request basis using supported tokens including $USDC and xGAS.\n\nThe release of the Ax402 stack marks its move from the initial July launch, covered by NNT, to a full production deployment. Ax402 is built on x402, an open protocol that repurposes the HTTP 402 Payment Required status code as the trigger for machine-to-machine payments. When Ax402 first launched on Neo X in July, the gateway integrated through xGAS, a wrapped GAS token deployed by Bane Labs for x402 payments, providing a Neo-native settlement option alongside the protocol’s broader $USDC support.\n\n$USDC settlement on Neo X became possible one day before this announcement, when $USDC.e and WETH arrived on the network through Chainlink’s CCIP-powered Transporter bridge on Sept. 14.\n\n## What it enables\n\nAx402 addresses a friction point in machine-to-machine commerce: AI agents and API consumers currently lack a standard way to pay for resources on a per-request basis without accounts, subscriptions, or checkout flows.\n\nFor example, a research agent could pay for a single query to a premium data API, a coding agent could pay to run a specialized security scan, or one AI agent could pay another for a translation or target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ax402.io.
