Magne.AI Collaborates With ManusPay For X402 Infrastructure, Paving A New Way For Web3 Payments

Magne.AI, a US-based technology firm that builds Web3 smartphones and mobile devices for the decentralized internet, today announced a strategic partnership with ManusPay, an AI-powered crypto payment platform that focuses on eliminating obstacles hindering people from adopting and utilizing crypto payments.

The collaboration is an update of the previous alliance announced last year, according to a post shared today on the X social platform. Based on the updated business relationship, Magne.AI leverages ManusPay’s x402 protocol infrastructure to advance its AI agents’ on-chain payment execution capabilities.

Magne.AI Leveraging ManusPay’s x402 Solution: What This Means

Today’s partnership enabled Magne.AI to integrate ManusPay’s x402 infrastructure into its Web3 AI smartphone platform to accelerate its AI agents’ ability to pay for resources in real-time, without human intervention. The growth of agentic commerce has led to increasing demands for machine-to-machine transactions. Due to technological advancements, agents are becoming increasingly autonomous, acquiring the ability to pay for API calls, buy data, manage subscriptions, fund their own compute, and even trade with their fellow agents. 

However, for the agentic economy to operate efficiently, a new settlement infrastructure has evolved, popularly known as the x402 architecture, which is rapid (real-time), cost-effective, and developed for autonomy. This infrastructure is fundamentally different from traditional payment systems like credit cards, electronic bank-to-bank transfers, and even blockchain networks, which were built for humans, not software. For these legacy systems to process payments, they assume that somebody will put data (details), authorize fees, and manage settlement cycles.  

AI agents operate quite differently as they function based on a pay-per-use model, engage in real-time settlements without human approval inputs, and embrace low fees that enable low-cost payments. This significant rising shift explains why Magne.AI today integrated ManusPay’s x402 technology to introduce all the above cutting-edge capabilities into its decentralized platform.

Strengthening The Agentic Economy

The incorporation of ManusPay’s x402 solution means agents on Magne.AI can now execute machine-to-machine transactions, with sub-50ms finality that enables real-time settlements without delays. Also, with parallel execution (powered by ManusPay’s x402 technology) now in place, this means that the new settlement system on Magne.AI doesn’t downgrade as agent activity evolves.

The integration of ManusPay’s x402 protocol introduces a new settlement layer in Magne.AI’s Web3 network, where agents can function at par with the efficiency of software, not the speed of human-driven finance.
