The GitHub repository went live on September 13. A team calling itself Security Gate x402 published a standard that sounds like science fiction until you remember that AI agents are already managing treasuries, executing trades, and signing transactions with wallets no human ever
The proposal landed on Ethereum Magicians on September 28. A developer named jeroost wants to solve a problem most musicians do not know they have: their licenses live in PDFs, platform databases, and lawyers' inboxes, while AI agents crawl the web looking for content to reuse in
