This audit utilizes x402, a payment standard that allows AI agents to execute instant payments without requiring accounts or human intervention. The results of these audits will be published on the ERC-8004 platform, which establishes on-chain standards for agent reputation and audit trails, thereby enhancing trustless interactions in decentralized systems.","long_context":"USDC: USDC is a leading fiat-backed stablecoin designed for use in digital payments, settlements, and on-chain transactions across multiple blockchains. Issued by Circle, it serves as a primary medium for stable-value transfers in protocols supporting programmable and agentic commerce. The service described in the news accepts payment exclusively in 1 USDC to deliver the AI security audit.\nx402: x402 is an open, neutral standard for internet-native payments that revives the HTTP 402 status code to enable seamless micropayments between clients, servers, and AI agents using stablecoins. Developed initially by Coinbase and stewarded by the x402 Foundation with support from partners like Cloudflare, it operates across multiple blockchains without requiring accounts or approvals. In this news, x402 powers the payment flow for the one-dollar AI security audit, allowing both humans and autonomous agents to pay 1 USDC natively for the service.\nERC-8004: ERC-8004 is an Ethereum Improvement Proposal standard designed to support trustless AI agents by providing mechanisms for verifiable identity, portable reputation through on-chain feedback registries, and validation of agent interactions. It enables discovery, selection, and auditing of agents across boundaries while maintaining an immutable audit trail. The news specifies that the AI security reviews produced by the one-dollar audit service are recorded live on ERC-8004 for transparency and composability in agent ecosystems.\nAustin Griffith: Austin Griffith is an Ethereum Foundation developer focused on builder tooling, onboarding, and educational resources for the Ethereum ecosystem. He creates open-source prototypes and tutorials that help developers engage with smart contracts and decentralized applications. In the context of this announcement, Griffith released the one-dollar audit tool, an AI-powered smart contract security review service priced at 1 USDC and integrated with x402 and ERC-8004.\n\n\n`json\n{\n  \"Agent Registry\": \"ERC-8004 defines standards for agent reputation, validation, and audit trails facilitating decentralized interactions.\",\n  \"Payment Standard\": \"x402 allows AI agents and APIs to conduct stablecoin transactions over HTTP without the need for accounts or human involvement.\",\n  \"Security Service\": \"The one-dollar audit offers an AI-driven security review for smart contracts with results published on ERC-8004 and transactions processed via x402.\"\n}\n`","sources":[{"uri":"https://www.digitalapplied.com/blog/x402-payment-protocol-ai-agents-pay-coinbase-cloudflare","title":"https://www.digitalapplied.com/blog/x402-payment-protocol-ai-agents-pay-coinbase-cloudflare"},{"uri":"https://composable-security.com/blog/erc-8004-a-practical-explainer-for-trustless-agents/","title":"https://composable-security.com/blog/erc-8004-a-practical-explainer-for-trustless-agents/"},{"uri":"https://www.linuxfoundation.org/press/linux-foundation-is-launching-the-x402-foundation-and-welcoming-the-contribution-of-the-x402-protocol","title":"https://www.linuxfoundation.org/press/linux-foundation-is-launching-the-x402-foundation-and-welcoming-the-contribution-of-the-x402-protocol"},{"uri":"https://impact.gitcoin.co/austin-griffith","title":"https://impact.gitcoin.co/austin-griffith"},{"uri":"https://stellar.org/blog/foundation-news/x402-on-stellar","title":"https://stellar.org/blog/foundation-news/x402-on-stellar"},{"uri":"https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-8004","title":"https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-8004"},{"uri":"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_HI2i2peo1A-STdG22GFsA","title":"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_HI2i2peo1A-STdG22GFsA"},{"uri":"https://www.ledger.com/academy/topics/economics-and-regulation/what-is-x402","title":"https://www.ledger.com/academy/topics/economics-and-regulation/what-is-x402"},{"uri":"https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/fireblocks-joins-x402-foundation-launches-agentic-payments-suite-302777251.html","title":"https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/fireblocks-joins-x402-foundation-launches-agentic-payments-suite-302777251.html"},{"uri":"https://austingriffith.com/","title":"https://austingriffith.com/"},{"uri":"https://www.quicknode.com/guides/agentic-payments/how-to-use-x402-payment-required","title":"https://www.quicknode.com/guides/agentic-payments/how-to-use-x402-payment-requir
