How project builders can capitalize on the 402 error concept

Come on, let me teach project builders how to "elegantly" capitalize on the 402 concept:

1) First, be confident. This isn't about capitalizing on a concept; it's about embracing the new Agent Pay paradigm.

Because x402 is an open protocol framework, currently only a small part of the technical framework has been defined, including the compatibility of EIP3009 and native USDC. Its programmability in interactive processes, interactive extensibility, and technical implementation paths await definition, extension, and contribution. Everyone has a chance to catch up;

2) Understand the logic behind the momentum of x402. It's not MEME; it's a technological innovation "singularity."

2) Understand the logic behind x402's momentum. It's not MEME; it's a technological innovation "singularity."

If you still try to quickly launch a token with the name x402, then use a crude webpage and CX-style promotional copy to find KOLs for a wave of publicity, if this is the end of x402, wouldn't playing xxLife be more advantageous? x402 is a technological innovation singularity where the technological narrative is steered anew; MEME is just a diversion. If you enter the game with a purely MEME-centric mindset, the journey will end as soon as it begins. 3) The x402 payment track has a wide enough coverage, but it is essential to find the core ecosystem niche. From the upstream Cloudflare to the base ecosystem x402, to key components throughout the process such as Facilitator and Provider, as well as Scanner indexing and data indexing service websites, all urgently need a refresh. This includes the impending Launchpad debate, the proliferation of Facilitators, the integration of the ERC8004 authentication standard, and the cross-chain services and batch settlement optimizations provided by various relay layers. x402 could very well replicate the situation when @VitalikButerin championed zk-rollups; the number of projects and opportunities that followed is self-evident. 4) x402 has a low technical barrier, but a deep engineering capability moat. Setting up a Facilitator might take a night, but achieving millisecond-level response times and handling hundreds of thousands or millions of concurrent requests is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Similarly, while Providers can quickly deploy Agents for users to get started, seamless payment experiences and feedback are the core competitive advantages. Simplicity does not equate to crudeness, and complexity does not necessarily mean a high barrier to entry. 5) The application prospects of x402 are limitless, and the starting logic of the bubble is "scenario first." Past rounds of infrastructure booms have all fallen into difficulties due to the inability to implement them in real-world scenarios. However, Agent Pay aims to solve actual "payment" needs. Its business model is small enough to allow Crypto's infrastructure to be upgraded to meet the needs of high-frequency, small-amount, and automated payments, and large enough to disrupt the traditional Web2 advertising business model. Therefore, initially, only applications with specific real-world scenarios and infrastructure that can truly generate sustainable value will be sought after. That's all. To help projects get on the x402 bandwagon, you might ask, what about retail investors? It's simple: those projects that are all about "to the moon" and claim to be number one but lack technical substance are basically targeting those with low IQs for exploitation. In the technology-intensive field of x402, "not understanding" is precisely the best filter. True builders are diligently constructing technology stacks you can't comprehend; true innovation challenges the boundaries of your understanding. Follow me, study hard—that's the only way!
