ICPanda launches world’s first on-chain x402 payment facilitator on Internet Computer

ICPanda has launched the world’s first fully on-chain x402 payment facilitator, bringing a new layer of decentralised payment capability to the Internet Computer. The platform allows dApps to integrate instant, verifiable transactions using multiple tokens including ICP, ckUSDT, ckUSDC and PANDA.

The new facilitator, built as a smart contract within the Anda Cloud ecosystem, automates payment verification and settlement directly on-chain. By running the x402 Protocol inside an ICP canister, it removes the need for intermediaries while maintaining transparent record-keeping through smart contracts governed by ICPanda DAO.

Developers can interact with the facilitator through both Candid and HTTP APIs, using JSON or CBOR content formats. The system manages payment states, logs, and fees entirely on-chain, ensuring traceable and auditable transactions without relying on central servers.

The Anda x402 Canister currently supports multiple ICRC-2 compatible assets and includes endpoints for verifying and settling payments. It is fully accessible via its public URLs, with detailed integration examples and SDKs available for developers on GitHub and npm.

By introducing the x402 payment facilitator, ICPanda is positioning the Internet Computer as a foundation for decentralised monetisation. Instead of depending on off-chain processors, developers can now create dApps with embedded payment logic that operates entirely within the blockchain environment.

The tool’s modular design also means that developers can easily add or remove supported payment kinds and assets. Fees are handled automatically by the canister, and administrators can collect them using defined API methods.

This move reflects a growing focus on practical web monetisation within the ICP ecosystem, where tools like Querio and Caffeine are already pushing the boundaries of decentralised app infrastructure. The x402 facilitator adds another key piece — secure, programmable payments that align with the Internet Computer’s goal of bringing web-scale functionality fully on-chain.
