According to Hyperbolic (@hyperbolic_labs), the launch of x402 eliminates the need for API keys in AI agent inference, allowing agents to operate using only a crypto wallet. This significant reduction in onboarding friction is likely to accelerate the adoption of on-chain AI agents, potentially boosting demand for related crypto infrastructure and tokens. Traders should monitor projects integrating x402 technology, as seamless wallet-based inference may drive increased transaction volumes and liquidity across decentralized AI platforms (source: Hyperbolic Labs Twitter, May 6, 2025).
