Alith + x402 is building a verified internet economy. Every piece of content—AI responses, code samples, whatever it may be—is thoroughly checked, always up to date, and users pay only tiny, instant micropayments. Say goodbye to hallucinated answers, outdated examples, or uncredited work. Here, truth comes first, and quality work is recognized immediately.
This three-part series explains everything: the core protocol, the trust layer that makes AI reliable, and the first real product that’s already bringing this system to life.
Episode 1 – What is x402? (Introduction)
x402 is designed for making tiny payments—ranging from a tenth of a cent up to ten cents—instantly and directly on the blockchain. No subscriptions, no bundling, and no intermediaries. Just seamless, pay-as-you-go transactions. It works just like sending data: you pay for exactly what you use, right when you use it.
Episode 2 – AI Needs a Trust Layer
AI today is quick and inexpensive, but let’s face it—it invents facts, takes ideas without credit, and gives answers with no accountability. Alith brings in a trust layer. Every answer is checked automatically, corrected if it’s wrong, and given on-chain proof you can verify yourself. Add x402 to the mix, and only reliable, verified information gets paid for. Now you have an AI system where truth matters—and the incentives make sense.
Episode 3 – Real-World Example: Verified Code Snippet Marketplace
Imagine a marketplace where developers upload code snippets and, immediately, the system runs them through Alith’s process—static analysis, sandbox tests, behavioral checks. Only code that passes verification goes live. Users pay a few cents per read or download with x402, and creators receive instant payment each time. Even years later, if the Auto-Fix system updates their code for new libraries, they still earn. It’s pay-per-use, verification built in, and everyone benefits.
