WuTalk has learned that the NEAR Foundation announced its membership in the Linux Foundation's x402 Foundation as a General Member. It will collaborate with members like Google, Microsoft, AWS, and Stripe to advance the infrastructure and transaction standards for the AI agent economy. According to the plan, NEAR will provide foundational technical support for the agent economy based on the x402 payment protocol, including cross-chain liquidity (supporting over 30 chains and 180 assets), privacy inference, confidential execution, and agent discovery. x402 is an open-source internet payment protocol created by Coinbase and contributed to the Linux Foundation. https://(wublock123.com)/news/near-foundation-joins-x402-foundation-to-build-ai-agent-economy-64606
