Enterprise Preview

x402 Multi-Chain Expansion
x402 payments now span Ethereum, Polygon, Base, and Solana
The x402 Payment Protocol proxy now supports four chains instead of just Ethereum. A new {chain} segment was added to the URL format so requests can be routed to the correct network, and the endpoint set was streamlined to /supported, /verify, /settle.
Key Highlights:
- New Chains: Polygon, Base, and Solana added alongside Ethereum
- Updated URL Format:
{chain}segment now required before{network} - Endpoint Cleanup:
/healthremoved; core flow is/supported,/verify,/settle - Mainnet & Testnet per chain: all four chains support both environments
URL Format:
