What this page establishes

x402 describes payment negotiation over HTTP.

A seller can choose a facilitator design rather than relying on one named provider.

Correct verification, settlement ordering, replay protection, and idempotency are implementation responsibilities.

x402 v2 specification

Practical review sequence

1

Verify the network, asset, recipient, and amount format.

2

Review facilitator trust and availability independently.

3

Never release paid content until verification and settlement behavior passes integration testing.
