Today we're joined by Jay Yu (@0xfishylosopher), research & partner @panteracapital, to discuss x402; a blockchain based micropayments solution built around the 402 HTTP status code.

We cover:
- Stablecoin payments through HTTP 402
- Real-world use cases and current pilot implementations
- Wallet adoption trends
- Facilitators like Coinbase and market share breakdown
- The evolving facilitator landscape and parallels to block building
- Comparisons to other payment frameworks like ERC-4804

And much more—enjoy!
