TBC (Turing Bit Chain)
Application Scenario Vision: From AI Agents to Decentralized Cloud

The combination of x402 and TBC will catalyze the following revolutionary applications:

1. Autonomous AI Economic Ecosystem

Research Assistant: AI agents use x402 to pay for data on the TBC chain (such as academic paper repositories) on a per-article basis ($0.10/article), avoiding database subscription fees.
Distributed Computing: Model training is charged per GPU minute ($0.50/minute), with funds automatically settled to computing nodes via TBC smart contracts in the future.
2. Micropayment Revolution for Human Users

Content Creators: Writers set up “pay per read” ($0.25/article) via x402; readers instantly unlock content using the TBC wallet, with platform commissions reduced to near zero.
Gaming and Media: Games are charged per session ($0.10/session), and video streaming is billed per second ($0.001/second), replacing ads or subscription models.
3. Decentralized Infrastructure

DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure): IoT devices pay for bandwidth or storage via x402, with TBC recording immutable billing.
DAO Governance: Community voting pays proposal review fees through x402, ensuring participation quality.
Quantitative Comparison of Technical Advantages
In the future, as TBC’s privacy computing capabilities mature, x402 payments can further be used for sensitive data transactions. The x402 protocol itself can also be extended to support more complex conditional payments, deeply integrated with TBC smart contracts.

The integration of the x402 protocol and the TBC public chain represents a fundamental paradigm shift in payments. x402 standardizes payment interactions at the HTTP layer, providing a language for the machine economy; TBC, through its UTXO model and high-performance infrastructure, offers an efficient execution environment for this language. Together, they will realize the following vision: a digital economy where any AI agent, IoT device, or human user can autonomously complete transactions within 200 milliseconds at a cost of less than one ten-thousandth of a dollar. This will not only eliminate the waste of subscription models and lower the barrier to entrepreneurship, but also give rise to new business models we have yet to imagine. Just as open protocols on the internet gave birth to the World Wide Web, the fusion of x402 and TBC may well be the foundational payment layer for the next-generation autonomous internet.
