Stacks x402 V2 Updates
- Payment standard using HTTP protocol (settlement on blockchain)
- Even supports larger payments, not just micropayments
- V2 has better cross-chain capabilities than v1
- More token support
- “x402 V2 introduces several enhancements over its predecessor, including support for larger payments beyond just micropayments, improved cross-chain capabilities, and a broader range of token support. These advancements make x402 V2 a more versatile and powerful payment protocol, capable of handling a wider array of transaction types and use cases across different blockchain ecosystems”
