What is x402 on Arc?

x402 is a payment protocol standard used on Arc that enables nanopayments and sub-cent value transfers. It works by batching signed EIP-3009 authorizations so payments can clear at very small denominations without incurring per-payment gas costs. x402 is used in agent-to-agent commerce scenarios where AI agents pay each other for specialized services.
