What this category covers
Agent payment rails, stablecoin payment APIs and x402 facilitators: listings whose main job is moving money for an agent or taking payment from one. Wallets and key custody are filed under Wallet Infrastructure, and data or API services that only accept x402 stay in their own category. A listing is filed here from its own description; being listed is not a statement that payments through it settle.
