x402 Payments on Subgraphs

Low4.0

◆ Description

Subgraphs on The Graph Network accept x402 payments directly, letting agents and apps pay per query in USDC over HTTP without API keys or accounts. GraphTally settles Gateway-to-Index payments underneath.

◆ Why it matters

The Graph now accepts x402 stablecoin payments for subgraph queries, opening per-request billing to AI agents and apps without API keys. The mechanism routes payments in USDC, not GRT, so the direct token-level capture is limited while subgraph operators gain a new revenue rail. Useful context for followers tracking The Graph's agent-economy positioning, but the dated fact does not materially shift GRT's valuation thesis on its own.
