The internet was never built for value transfer. Even as AI and blockchain advanced, payments remained external, slow, and trust-dependent. Digital systems could share information instantly, yet value still moved through outdated rails. This is where x402 comes in. It adds a native payment layer to HTTP, giving the web the ability to send and verify value directly. Every request can now carry payment, allowing services and agents to transact automatically when data moves or computation runs. It turns the web from an information network into a real-time economy. GOAT recognized x402 as the missing link that could finally make value flow as easily as data. To bring this vision into real applications, GOAT joined forces with @MetisL2 , @LazAINetwork, and @ProjectZKM to build a complete stack where each partner contributes to the foundation of real-time, verifiable payments. Metis provides high-speed settlement. GOAT connects the system to #Bitcoin, turning BTC liquidity into a core layer of machine-to-machine commerce. LazAI identifies contributors so that data and compute providers receive automatic attribution. ZKM supplies verifiable settlement through a zkVM, removing intermediaries and ensuring mathematical accuracy. The system now comes to life through GMPayer, a live Proof-of-Concept that demonstrates how x402 payments move across chains in real time. It serves as an early implementation of multi-currency, trustless settlement and introduces a limited $BANG token mint for contributors who wish to take part in shaping the experiment, issued purely for demonstration without real utility. Step by step, LFGOAT!
