We said x402 on Algorand would be huge.
Congrats to @GoPlausible on surpassing 1 million settlements and 1.8m transactions on the @Algorand x402 facilitator.
The @GoPlausible's @Algorand x402 facilitator has passed 1 million settlements and 1.8 million transactions.
Transactions can fail for all kinds of reasons: insufficient balance, invalid logic, a bad signature…
On Algorand, invalid transactions are rejected before they ever reach the chain, so you don't pay for a transaction that doesn't execute.
Your $1 stays $1.
