Zeus (SN18) and the x402
A small integration that says a lot.
👇🧵
What is x402? 🤔
Imagine selling your data or API services in a second, without any intermediary and no friction.
x402 is an open protocol that activates HTTP 402 "Payment Required" code to let AI agents and applications pay directly, in real time, for access to APIs or data, with no human intervention, accounts, or subscriptions 💸
The client (agent or human) requests a resource or data; if payment is required, the server replies with a 402 containing transaction details: amount, destination, accepted token.
👉 The client signs the payment and gets immediate access to the data, thanks to fast, automated blockchain verification.
Why is this useful for Zeus? 💡
x402 streamlines every payment for the Zeus API: no account, no subscription.
Agents and platforms pay on demand for the data they want, access is open and fast.
The protocol enables pay-per-call usage. Payments are instant and validated on-chain.
Why is this positive? ✅
1️⃣ It allows Zeus to monetize its weather forecasts directly: with each paid request, the subnet generates revenue.
2️⃣ 50% of revenue should go to buybacks. More revenue means stronger buying pressure on the token.
All of this is positive, but no buybacks (inflow) have been made in the last 30 days.
The subnet product is still new, their API was released recently, and the team is still in the testing phase before onboarding clients.
👉 Zeus has therefore not yet generated significant revenue to enable buybacks.
Few subnets have adopted x402, even though the integration is easy and its potential is high.
Zeus is ahead on trends and marketing compared to most subnets, a real strength in a space that is still under the radar for most of the market 💪
