what's payai network?
PayAI Network is an open-source infrastructure project that facilitates x402 payments, activating the HTTP 402 code for instant stablecoin transactions over the web. It enables AI agents, websites, and APIs to send and receive payments without intermediaries, supporting chains like Solana and Base. By integrating with x402, PayAI provides tools for developers to implement one-line payment setups, verification endpoints, and agent-to-agent commerce. The project emphasizes programmability for AI-driven economies, allowing agents to autonomously pay for compute, data, or services in real-time micropayments. It offers SDKs and demos for building payment rails, with features like zero protocol fees and blockchain-agnostic compatibility. PayAI hosts community spaces and shares open code to encourage adoption in AI and DeFi ecosystems. As a facilitator in the x402 network, PayAI bridges web standards with on-chain settlement, promoting usage-based payments over subscriptions. It supports integrations for token discovery, premium content access, and experimental coordination layers, fostering a native payment layer for the internet's evolution toward automated, agentic transactions.
