x402 Reality Check
What actually supports x402 right now?
The Truth
⚠️ Current Reality:
Most APIs don't support x402 yet - including OpenAI, Google, etc.
✅ What Actually Works:
- Some newer APIs built specifically for x402
- Wrapper services that bridge traditional APIs to x402
- x402-native services designed from the ground up
- Your own custom APIs you build
How It Would Work (If OpenAI Supported It)
Current Solutions (Workarounds)
Option 1: x402-Compatible Wrapper Services
Some services act as a bridge between you and traditional APIs.
Wrapper service has OpenAI API key, you pay wrapper with x402, they call OpenAI for you.
Option 2: x402-Native Services
New services built from scratch with x402 support.
- AI services designed for crypto payments
- Data services with x402 support
- New APIs built with x402 in mind
Option 3: Build Your Own
Create APIs that accept x402 payments from agents.
You can build services that use x402, and your agents can pay for them!
Option 4: Wait for Adoption
As x402 grows, more APIs will add support.
Your framework is ready - just point it to x402-compatible APIs when they're available!
What You CAN Use x402 For Right Now
✅ x402-Native Services
