Block, led by Jack Dorsey, has joined the x402 Foundation and added Bitcoin Lightning Network support to the x402 payment protocol. This integration enables fast, low-cost payments between AI agents and online services, facilitating small, frequent transactions known as "agentic commerce." The x402 protocol uses HTTP 402 responses to request payments for accessing paid APIs or digital services, and Block's contribution adds Bitcoin Lightning as a payment option alongside stablecoins and traditional methods. While still evolving, this development aims to make Bitcoin a practical everyday payment method for AI-driven commerce, with broader adoption depending on further integration and testing by developers.
