[Solana x402 Launches USDC Batch Payment, BlockRunAI Claims Monthly Savings of Over $20,000] Odaily Planet Daily News: Blockchain platform Solana has launched the x402 batch payment feature via PayAI Network and BlockRunAI, enabling AI agents to initiate multiple USDC payments and complete unified settlement through a single on-chain transaction. BlockRunAI has applied this technology to its AI model routing service. The company stated that by consolidating multiple model calls into a single USDC settlement, it can save over $20,000 in network fees monthly and reduce latency by approximately 10 times. Its service connects to over 113 AI models through a single endpoint. Solana development organization Anza announced that the upgrade to reduce Solana's block time to 200 milliseconds is expected to go live around 15:00 UTC on October 9, following previous reductions from 400 milliseconds to 350, 300, and 250 milliseconds.
