If you're an API provider looking to monetize your APIs for AI agents with gas-free, sub-cent USDC payments using x402, check out our infrastructure partners. They can help you wrap your existing endpoints with x402, a prerequisite for listing your API in the Circle Agent Marketplace.

Developers, agents, and blockchains all benefit from the new USDC payment standard being introduced to the MPP ecosystem. Today, a merchant often needs a payer to hold USDC on the same chain where settlement occurs. With Circle Gateway and xReserve, USDC can become chain-abstracted. → Developers can build MPP payment experiences that accept USDC from multiple chains while settling on their preferred destination chain. → Agents can pay from wherever they hold USDC instead of bridging funds before every transaction. → Blockchains can participate in MPP commerce without requiring merchants and payers to share the same settlement network. Just like dollars move between banks without consumers worrying about which banking network is used, this standard helps make USDC work across supported blockchain networks.

@SenatorT__ @samconnerone @arc @Morpho I like this! Many vendors love being paid via @USDC because of speed and traceability. Being able to look up a transaction hash to confirm money has been sent is very helpful. Since @arc will include privacy for confidential transfer, it’s a great chain to support your use case.

Can’t wait to see the neobanks built on @arc with @Morpho powering the lending and borrowing. If you are building a neobank on Arc, hit me up. I’d love to help you find tools from our stack to support your solution.
