$PING

The First Memecoin on x402

No utility. No team. No financial advice.
Pure early adopter vibes.

The Story

With the mission to stress test x402 in production, $PING called out the degens to do 100,000 mint transactions.

No Frontend. Pure Protocol.

No website was ever hosted. The entire mint happened via x402scan. 100k transactions at 1 USDC each, all settled through x402.

Named After the Network Utility

The symbol $PING is inspired by the "ping" software utility used to test the reachability of a host on the internet. Fitting for a protocol stress test.

USDC In, $PING Out

Every USDC payment was forwarded directly to a smart contract, which then minted $PING in return. Simple. Transparent. Unstoppable.

Liquidity Locked Forever

100% of the USDC collected was automatically used to provide liquidity on Uniswap. The liquidity is permanently locked in the contract.

The Protocol

What is x402?

x402 is an open, neutral standard for internet-native payments developed by Coinbase. It uses the HTTP 402 "Payment Required" status code to enable seamless, instant payments between clients and servers.

Gartner Estimate (via a16z crypto)

$30 Trillion

in purchases will be made or influenced by AI agents by 2030

Zero
Protocol Fees

Free for customers and merchants. Only pay nominal network fees.

Instant
Settlement

Money moves at the speed of the internet. No waiting.

Open
Standard

Neutral protocol not tied to any specific network. Anyone can build on it.

How x402 Works

1

Client sends HTTP request

Any HTTP client (browser, AI agent, API) makes a request to a server.

2

Server responds with 402: Payment Required

Instead of blocking access, the server requests payment via standard HTTP.

3

Client pays instantly with stablecoins

No signups, no KYC, no API keys. Just instant payment.

4

Access granted

Transaction complete. No chargebacks, no disputes, no friction.

Why x402 Matters for AI Agents

Traditional payment systems require accounts, API keys, KYC verification, and credit card processing. This doesn't work for autonomous AI agents that need to make thousands of micro-transactions instantly.

x402 enables a new economy where AI agents can pay for services, data, and compute resources directly via HTTP. It's the payment layer for the agentic future.
