SUMMARY

Join Sam Sealey and Blessing Adesiji for a live walkthrough of Circle Nanopayments, a new way to power high‑frequency, sub‑cent payments with no per‑payment gas costs, using x402 and Circle Gateway batched settlement.

We’ll break down how the flow works end‑to‑end, then demo practical integration patterns for paid APIs and agentic use cases.

What we’ll cover:

  • Why pay‑per‑use breaks onchain (when fees > the payment) and how Nanopayments fixes it
  • How x402 uses HTTP 402 Payment Required to price and sell API resources
  • How buyers deposit once into Gateway and sign off‑chain payment authorizations
  • How batched settlement removes per‑payment gas overhead and keeps sub‑cent payments viable
  • Seller integration patterns (verification + middleware patterns, including Express APIs)
  • What you can build: agentic payments, usage‑based billing, machine‑to‑machine commerce, and streaming value
  • Audience Q&A
