GoPlus Develops Security Barrier to Safeguard x402's Rapid AI Payment Growth

Web3 security infrastructure provider

has revealed plans to soon introduce a leveraging the x402 protocol, a decentralized payment system tailored for AI-powered transactions. Now in its final testing stage, this offering equips developers and AI agents with features like malicious address identification, token safety checks, and transaction emulation, all designed to strengthen blockchain transaction protection and enable instant risk response. Featuring a and open, permissionless access, the service is set up to handle more than 30 million requests, further boosting the x402 platform’s security and commercial potential.

The x402 protocol itself has experienced rapid expansion, with

noting a in transaction volume last month. This open-source protocol, which enables automated payments between AI agents and users, processed close to 500,000 transactions in a single week, including a peak of 239,505 in one day. Although some critics suspect the numbers may be inflated, the protocol’s ecosystem has drawn considerable interest, with its market capitalization jumping 266% in just 24 hours to nearly $180 million.

GoPlus’s integration into the x402 ecosystem reflects the broader momentum in AI-driven commerce. Coinbase has also launched a "Payments MCP" platform, allowing AI models such as Claude and Gemini to facilitate stablecoin payments and fiat onboarding through natural language instructions. The protocol’s compatibility with Binance and its Ethereum-based settlement infrastructure further highlight its potential for scalable, trustless payments. At the same time, Solana’s version of x402 is gaining popularity, with

climbing 39.62% in a single day to reach a $31.61 million market cap, fueled by developer engagement and new development tools.

Industry experts point to x402’s capacity to transform digital payments. A16z’s crypto team forecasts $30 trillion in automated transactions by 2030, while Artemis Capital reports that

have surged 70% so far this year, with business-to-business transfers making up two-thirds of the total. Tron’s lead in stablecoin settlements is diminishing as networks like and Base gain traction, signaling a shift toward more efficient, high-capacity alternatives.

GoPlus’s security platform is set to tackle key security gaps in this fast-changing sector. By delivering ready-to-use tools for x402 developers, the company seeks to streamline the adoption of AI-powered payment solutions while maintaining strong defenses against scams and threats. As the x402 ecosystem grows, the ability to process 30 million requests could make this service a foundational element of secure, decentralized digital commerce.
