De uitbreiding moet AI-agents en webdiensten in staat stellen zelfstandig te betalen voor API-toegang, data en andere digitale diensten. Volgens Block is Lightning geschikt voor de goedkope, hoogfrequente betalingen die agentic commerce naar verwachting nodig heeft.<\/p><h2>Wat is x402 en wie steunt het al?<\/h2><span class=\"replacer\"><\/span><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">x402 is een open betaalstandaard waarmee AI-agents en webdiensten autonoom kunnen betalen voor toegang tot API&#8217;s, data en andere digitale diensten. De <strong>x402 Foundation<\/strong> werd in april opgericht onder de <strong>Linux Foundation<\/strong>. Met de toetreding sluit Block zich aan bij bestaande steun van Google, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, Coinbase en de Solana Foundation.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Volgens Blocks eigen aankondiging bouwt de stap voort op de deelname van het bedrijf aan het <strong>Universal Commerce Protocol<\/strong>, een initiatief dat AI-gedreven handel voor kleine bedrijven moet ondersteunen. Vergelijkbare bewegingen zijn al eerder te zien geweest, zoals bij Ripple, dat <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptonews.com\/nl\/news\/ripple-xrp-ai-betalingen-stripe\/\">AI-agents zelfstandig laat betalen via het Machine Payments Protocol<\/a>.<\/p><h2>Waarom Block inzet op Lightning<\/h2><span class=\"replacer\"><\/span><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Steve Lee<\/strong>, hoofd van Blocks Bitcoin-ontwikkelingsinitiatief <strong>Spiral<\/strong>, motiveert de stap vanuit het doel om Bitcoin praktisch bruikbaar te maken voor dagelijkse betalingen, ook door AI-agents die namens gebruikers handelen.<\/p><blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Bringing Lightning to x402 is a concrete step toward making Bitcoin everyday money for people and the agents acting on their behalf, and we&#8217;re excited to help the industry build on it,&#8221; zegt Lee.<\/p><\/blockquote><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Block stelt dat Lightning is toegesneden op betalingen die snel, goedkoop en in hoog volume moeten verlopen, precies het profiel dat agentic commerce volgens het bedrijf zal vereisen.<\/p><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptonews.com\/nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/09\/lightning-network-inline-1.webp\" alt=\"Een diagram van de Lightning Network Protocol Suite, verdeeld in verschillende lagen zoals Payment, Routing en Messaging.\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption>Overzicht van de Lightning Network Protocol Suite. &#8211; &#8220;Lightning Network Protocol Suite&#8221; by Renepick is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.

Met de toevoeging van Lightning krijgt de standaard een betaalmethode die volgens Block gebouwd is voor micro-betalingen met lage kosten, relevant voor agents die mogelijk grote aantallen kleine transacties per dag uitvoeren.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">De toetreding van Block vergroot de groep technologie- en cryptobedrijven die de x402 Foundation steunen, naast de bestaande betrokkenheid van Google, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, Coinbase en de Solana Foundation. Voor autonome agents die zelf betalingen initi\u00ebren, blijft de onderliggende wallet- en accountinfrastructuur bepalend voor hoe veilig en schaalbaar zulke transacties kunnen verlopen, een vraagstuk dat ook speelt bij <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptonews.com\/nl\/news\/ethereum-base-wallet-standaard-eip-8141-eip-8130\/\">nieuwe wallet- en accountstandaarden op Ethereum en Base<\/a>.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Concrete transactievolumes of merchant-implementaties die specifiek aan de Lightning-integratie binnen x402 zijn toe te schrijven, heeft Block niet bekendgemaakt. Het bedrijf heeft evenmin een tijdlijn gegeven voor het integreren van Lightning-betalingen via x402 in eigen consumentenproducten zoals Square, Cash App of Bitkey.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>x402 Lightning krijgt steun van Block voor goedkope, snelle AI-betalingen via API\u2019s, data en andere digitale diensten zonder menselijke
