PayAI Launches on SKALE: Powering Seamless x402 Payments Without Gas Fees

SKALE Network

Meet the Multi-Network x402 Facilitator Now Live on SKALE

In a world rapidly evolving around intelligent agents and machine-to-machine economies, the infrastructure powering payments must be as seamless and adaptive as the AI systems it supports. That’s the mission of PayAI, to create frictionless, scalable payment solutions for the age of automation. As developers rush to build AI agents that interact autonomously across networks, one bottleneck has remained: how these agents pay, settle, and transact efficiently. Especially as they look to do this across chains. PayAI solves this by becoming a multi-network x402 facilitator, supporting all tokens and making onboarding effortless. With a stable, enterprise-grade infrastructure, PayAI is the second leading facilitator after Coinbase, having already processed 28 million transactions and $7 million in settlement.

Today, SKALE, the AI and privacy focused blockchain built to power the internet of agents, is proud to announce that PayAI is now live on the network, bringing its full capabilities to AI builders and merchants across the ecosystem. By integrating with SKALE, PayAI removes the pain of gas fees while providing developers with the speed and flexibility they need to build the future of autonomous commerce.

What is PayAI?

PayAI is pioneering payment infrastructure tailored for the AI economy. With a strong focus on x402, PayAI serves as a multi-network payment facilitator, enabling seamless, interoperable transactions for AI agents and merchant platforms alike. This infrastructure is designed to support all tokens, making PayAI chain-agnostic and future-proof in a rapidly evolving multichain world.

Who Is It For?

PayAI primarily targets AI Agent Developers, the builders creating autonomous bots and intelligent systems, as well as merchants who seek reliable, scalable, and gas-free payment solutions. Its value proposition is simple but powerful:

  • Support for all tokens
  • Multi-network x402 compatibility
  • Easy onboarding
  • Stable, scalable performance

By integrating into PayAI, developers no longer need to worry about the complexities of cross-chain payments or high fees. It's set up to be the backbone for autonomous payments.

Why SKALE?
