Abstract:

   x402 is an application-level protocol for internet-native payments
   built on the HTTP 402 (Payment Required) status code.  This document
   defines how a domain publishes its x402 payment capability out-of-
   band, so that clients, autonomous agents, and indexers can discover
   it without prior configuration or a central directory.  It specifies
   a JSON capability manifest served at the well-known URI "/.well-
   known/x402" and an optional DNS TXT record at the underscored node
   name "_x402" that points to the manifest.  A consumer resolves a bare
   domain name to verified x402 capability with at most one DNS query
   and one HTTPS GET.
