Comment by janandonly | original | Monetization Gateway: Charge for any resource behind Cloudflare via x402

I am surprised that Cloudflare went and made their own implementation of L402/x402?

There are already a bunch of working implementations:

* https://www.l402.org/ * https://docs.lightning.engineering/the-lightning-network/l40...

There is even an index with a long list of services that already support this tech:

Since the protocol is just returning a crypto address and a payment amount in JSON format and then waiting for a request with the transaction ID, why wouldn't they implement it themselves?
