flag New Web3 standards x402 and ERC-8004 aim to enable automated, trust-based machine payments and identity, backed by HTX Ventures' investments.

flag HTX Ventures' new report highlights two emerging Web3 standards, x402 and ERC-8004, as pivotal for the next phase of technological growth. flag x402 revives the HTTP 402 code to enable automated, machine-to-machine payments via stablecoins, while ERC-8004 offers a framework for verifiable on-chain identity and coordination among autonomous systems. flag The report argues these standards address limitations in current infrastructure as AI and automation expand, enabling a scalable, trust-based machine-native economy. flag HTX Ventures has already invested in projects like PING and PAYAI, signaling early support for this shift, which the firm sees as emerging during market downturns when focus turns to foundational innovation.
