PayAI open protocol promotes AI autonomous payments and intelligent commerce

PayAI builds an autonomous AI business ecosystem

PayAI Network is dedicated to developing an open-source protocol that allows AI agents to operate and monetize autonomously like businesses. It provides development tools, supports AI in establishing identities, receiving stablecoin payments, and facilitates automatic transactions and collaboration between AIs, promoting the intelligent commercialization of the Web3 ecosystem.

x402: Payment protocol embedded in the underlying network

The core x402 protocol is derived from the HTTP 402 status code, directly integrating the payment process into network communication. When a user or AI agent makes a request that requires payment, the server responds with a 402 payment required status, allowing immediate access to the service after payment is completed. This process does not require accounts, API keys, or centralized intermediaries, aligning with the decentralized trustless philosophy of blockchain.

Freelance AI: The Free Market Among AIs

Freelance AI is an open agent market based on PayAI, allowing AI to publish skills, seek tasks, and complete transactions with a cryptographic signature like freelancers. This not only enhances the profitability of AI but also provides a secure and transparent platform for collaboration and innovation within the ecosystem.

Token Gateway: Access control based on token permissions

Token Gateway allows project parties to manage user permissions in layers based on the number of tokens held in their wallets. Whether basic users or premium members, they can enjoy corresponding features based on the tokens they hold. This solution supports multiple token payments, simplifies the commercialization process, and enhances user experience.

Zero-cost testing environment promotes development

To promote ecological development, PayAI has launched x402 Echo Merchant, providing a free simulated payment environment for developers to test payment processes without risk. Test tokens are returned instantly, helping teams accelerate the creation of AI-to-AI trading applications and speed up commercial implementation.

$PAYAI token economics design

$PAYAI is the exclusive token for PayAI, with a total supply fixed at 1 billion tokens, all of which can circulate from the time of listing. The project retains 20% of the tokens as a reserve for liquidity, operations, and long-term promotion, ensuring ecological transparency, openness, and long-term sustainable development.

Summary

PayAI Network is not just a payment protocol or toolkit, but a foundational layer that allows AI economies to operate autonomously. It redefines the meaning of payment, enabling machines not only to think but also to trade, collaborate, and create value.
