Its name comes from the \u201c402 Payment Required\u201d response, which tells a program that payment is needed before it can obtain a resource. J. Ayo Akinyele, head of engineering at RippleX, the blockchain development arm of Ripple, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ja_akinyele\/status\/2105534303127925018\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">shared the 10 million milestone<\/a> on X on Oct. 1.<\/p>\n<p>By Oct. 3, t54, which operates the settlement infrastructure and activity dashboard, showed 11,965,947 entries in its <a href=\"https:\/\/xrpl-ai.org\/transactions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">x402 transaction history<\/a>. Its homepage reported a seven-day average of 525,618 per day.<\/p>\n<p>Akinyele presented the increase as evidence of a broader role for blockchain settlement, writing:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe latest 7-day run rate is now 500K payments per day. Pretty incredible to see how quickly this is growing as agents start to autonomously discover, pay for and consume services. And the XRP Ledger is increasingly becoming infrastructure for the machine economy!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>Software Pays Automatically Before Receiving a Resource<\/h2>\n<p>An online provider can request payment before supplying information or computing capacity to an automated buyer. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.t54.ai\/docs\/xrpl\/x402-facilitator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">t54\u2019s XRPL payment flow<\/a>, a service responds with a price and payment requirements. The buyer signs a transaction, and the facilitator verifies it before submitting the transfer to the blockchain. The provider then delivers the requested resource.<\/p>\n<p>Developers can connect autonomous software to wallets through <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/xrp-gets-ai-agent-payment-support-in-ripples-xrpl-ai-starter-kit-as-executive-sees-billions-ahead\/\">Ripple\u2019s AI payment tools<\/a>. An AI agent is software that can carry out tasks on a user\u2019s behalf, including purchasing resources within an automated workflow. The toolkit supports wallet creation, balance checks, and tracking, allowing applications to monitor spending and confirm completion.<\/p>\n<p>Purchases can use XRP or Ripple USD (RLUSD), giving developers different ways to denominate payments for digital products. RLUSD is a dollar-backed stablecoin, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/altcoins-and-tokens\/stablecoins\/what-are-stablecoins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a cryptocurrency designed to track a reference asset\u2019s value<\/a>. That option lets buyers and sellers price their exchanges in dollar terms.<\/p>\n<h2>Financial Services Expand the Range of Agent Purchases<\/h2>\n<p>Akinyele attributed most activity to data purchases and AI inference, meaning the use of a trained model to generate an answer or other output. The increase follows <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/xrp-ledger-hits-1-million-ai-agent-transactions-as-ripple-builds-ai-spending-infrastructure\/\">the earlier 1 million agent transaction milestone<\/a>, which he discussed in July. His latest update also identified offerings across financial data, risk, and credit.<\/p>\n<p>Those purchases can occur through <a href=\"https:\/\/ripple.com\/insights\/xrpl-ai-starter-kit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">application programming interfaces<\/a>, the connections software uses to request information or functions from another service. Ripple describes settlement in three to five seconds and predictable transaction costs as features supporting automated commerce. These capabilities allow a program to establish whether a transfer succeeded before continuing its task.<\/p>\n<p>Broader commerce could involve <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/featured\/new-phase-for-xrp-could-emerge-as-ai-agents-move-toward-real-spending\/\">agents operating under user-defined spending limits<\/a>, an approach t54 co-founder Chandler Fang discussed Aug. 21. His framework includes budgets, merchant restrictions, and approval requirements for delegated purchases. He also identified the possibility of credit for software buyers that establish reliable identities and repayment histories.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/featured\/xrp-ledger-nears-12-million-x402-payments-as-ai-agents-buy-services\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways RippleX\u2019s head of engineering reported growth from 1 million to 10 million in under three months.
