AI is entering a new era, one where intelligent agents don’t just process data, they transact value.

To make that possible, LazAI, in collaboration with Metis, ZKM, and GOAT Network, has launched GMPayer , an x402-powered, cross-chain payment hub that allows AI agents to make instant, verifiable, and trustless payments across multiple blockchains without intermediaries.

What is GMPayer?

GMPayer (GOAT–Metis–Payer) is the first multi-currency, x402-based payment protocol designed specifically for the AI agent economy.

It brings together:

  • LazAI – Through the Data Anchoring Token (DAT) standard, LazAI connects data ownership, rights, and revenue to every AI transaction. Contributors are automatically compensated when their data or models are used.
  • Metis – Provides the execution and settlement backbone, with Andromeda anchoring transactions and Hyperion scaling microtransactions for AI workflows.
  • ZKM – Validates every transaction through zero-knowledge proofs, ensuring payments remain transparent, neutral, and verifiable.
  • GOAT Network – Bridges Bitcoin and stablecoin liquidity with zkRollup infrastructure and EIP-3009 compatibility for x402-based payments.

Together, these networks form a decentralized payment layer where AI agents can buy, sell, and exchange data and services autonomously.

Why x402 Changes Everything

For over three decades, the web reserved HTTP 402: “Payment Required”, a dormant status code.
In 2025, Coinbase and Cloudflare revived it as x402, creating a new standard for per-request, onchain payments.

x402 lets one AI agent pay another directly in the same request — no accounts, no APIs, no invoices.
But to make it safe, every payment must be provable, rights-bound, and multi-chain compatible.

That’s the role of GMPayer: to turn x402 from a protocol into a working economic layer where agents can transact securely, instantly, and autonomously.

GMPayer’s Four-Phase Vision

Phase 1 – Build the Payment Hub
Launch the first x402-based, cross-chain hub where AI agents independently pay for compute, data, and model access.

Phase 2 – Make Payments Trustworthy and Controllable
Introduce user-level controls for agent micropayments, including safe budgets, spending limits, and transparent transaction histories.

Phase 3 – Create the AI Business Network
Transform AI services into profit-generating assets through DAT attribution, enabling per-call rewards.

Phase 4 – Build a Universal AI Value-Exchange Layer
Seamlessly integrate AI commerce across all Web3 chains, a global marketplace for data, compute, and intelligence.

Why It Matters for Metis

For Metis, this marks a major leap forward in scaling Hyperion’s high-throughput infrastructure and Andromeda’s decentralized settlement.

By enabling AI payments directly on Metis Andromeda, GMPayer cements Metis as the economic and technical backbone of the AI-powered Web3 economy, a system where data, computation, and payments converge into a single, verifiable loop.

The AI Agent Economy Starts Here

With GMPayer, AI agents stop just “thinking”, they start transacting.

Every API call becomes a deal.
Every dataset becomes an asset.
Every contribution earns value automatically.

This is how LazAI, Metis, ZKM, and GOAT Network are building the foundation of an AI economy that runs itself — autonomous, decentralized, and borderless.
