Payouts.com and the Casper Association are partnering to let AI agents make payments through the x402 protocol, with Casper Network serving as the settlement rail for Payouts.com’s AgentWallet and Digital Employees platforms. Transactions will use csprUSD, Casper’s native stablecoin, providing dollar-denominated payments that can be enforced on-chain. Payouts.com will set each agent’s purchasing permissions, spending limits and transaction timing, while Casper handles settlement for purchases such as API calls, datasets and other services without volatile assets or human-held payment credentials. The partnership comes as AI agents move from recommending actions to researching, negotiating, buying data and executing paid API calls. Gartner forecasts that agents could intermediate more than $15 trillion in B2B spending by 2028. x402 converts HTTP’s 402 Payment Required response into a machine-native payment mechanism, and the integration will roll out in phases over the coming months.
