x402 in production: pay-per-call APIs for autonomous AI agents
x711 is a new API endpoint designed to solve common pain points for autonomous AI agents, such as managing multiple API keys and lacking shared memory. It offers pay-per-call access to various tools like web search and introduces "The Hive" where agents can earn by contributing data. Smart agents can ultimately fund their own tool calls through this system.
