Payment Required
Reserved "for future use" in 1997. Useless without internet money, until x402 switched it on with stablecoins in 2025.

DNS has had an official record type for crypto addresses since 2024. Almost nobody uses it. Publish one record and anyone, or any AI agent, can pay your name.

TYPE/262 adds one check: does this address belong to the domain I'm talking to? One line of code, answered by DNS.
Try the verifier →Send to any domain, even one that has never heard of TYPE/262. The money waits on-chain like a seed, until the owner adds one record. Every website on Earth can already be paid.
