Coinbase-incubated x402 protocol unveils an app store for AI bots

According to the source, x402 Foundation launched Agent.market as a unified AI agent platform with hundreds of tools and services across seven categories, supported by partners including OpenAI, Bloomberg, CoinGecko, AWS Lambda, QuickNode and Alchemy.

Fact Check
The claim is substantially supported by 'Coinbase 孵化 x402 协议推出 AI 代理应用商店 Agent.market', which says x402 Foundation launched Agent.market as a unified AI-agent app-store/platform with seven categories and names OpenAI, Bloomberg, CoinGecko, and AWS Lambda among providers. The Block's X post and the The Block article search snippets corroborate that x402 unveiled an app store for AI bots and that providers include OpenAI, Bloomberg, CoinGecko, and Alchemy. However, QuickNode is not clearly visible in the accessible fetched/snippet evidence, and the strongest details come through secondary reporting rather than a directly fetched official x402 Foundation announcement. So the overall claim is likely true, but confidence is medium rather than high.
