Cryptorefills launches x402 payments for AI agents, publishes agentic commerce reference

Published

on

USDC payments on Base for AI agents at checkout, alongside open-source documentation of how merchants run agent-driven commerce.

Amsterdam, May 11th 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, 15:00 CEST. Cryptorefills has enabled x402 payments at checkout, allowing AI agents to pay for gift cards, mobile top-ups and eSIMs using USDC on the Base network. The protocol, developed by Coinbase and Cloudflare, lets autonomous software settle stablecoin transactions programmatically. Cryptorefills has also published an open-source operations reference for the merchant operations layer of agentic commerce.

x402 lets a software agent receive an HTTP 402 Payment Required response from a merchant, settle the requested amount in stablecoin, and complete the transaction in a single automated exchange. For Cryptorefills, checkout becomes a programmable endpoint that agents can call directly.

The x402 launch adds a second agent-payment rail to the platform. Cryptorefills released its Model Context Protocol server in October 2025, allowing agents to discover products, build orders, and complete purchases through MCP. x402 addresses a different pattern: the agent calls a Cryptorefills endpoint, receives payment terms, settles in USDC, and completes the request in one round trip. The two rails serve different agent contexts and run in parallel. 

“We shipped x402 and open-sourced our merchant operations work in the same week on purpose. One is a payment rail, while the other is what a merchant needs around it to accept agent traffic. Agentic commerce is happening, and very little about the second part has been written down,” said Massimiliano Silenzi, CEO of Cryptorefills. “We’ve been running stablecoin checkout since 2018, and a lot of what we learned there carries over. We chose to publish what we’ve learned and continue building the rest openly.”

The reference repository, available at github.com/Cryptorefills/agentic-commerce, covers the operations surface that surrounds the protocol stack. Topics include catalogue discovery for agent buyers, settlement reconciliation across chains, quote-and-pricing handling, and delivery confirmations. Documentation is released under CC0; example code is Apache 2.0.

“In the repository we just open-sourced there are nine playbooks, the TypeScript schemas behind them, and five runnable examples. Two of them connect to our live MCP and x402 endpoints, so a developer can clone the repository and watch the agent-merchant exchange execute against production,” said Simonluca Landi, CTO of Cryptorefills.

Cryptorefills serves AI agents through three of the field’s emerging standards: MCP for context, Agent Skills for capability publishing, and x402 for stablecoin settlement.

What to expect at Booth 13

Money Expo India is one of the largest financial industry gatherings in Asia, drawing retail traders, institutional investors, brokers, and fintech firms into one venue. For CentFX, the show is a chance to talk directly with one of the fastest-growing retail Forex communities in the world.

Anyone stopping by Booth No. 13 can see the platform run live, open or review an account with the team on hand, and ask questions about trading conditions face to face. The team will walk visitors through the details that matter day to day: 0.0 pip ECN spreads, leverage up to 1:1000, and average execution of 0.04 seconds.

The booth doubles as a meeting point for introducing brokers, affiliates, and prospective partners who want to discuss working with CentFX. The company holds regulatory authorisations in Anguilla (ARCA), Mauritius (FSC), and Dubai (Government of Dubai), and has collected more than 18 industry awards since its retail launch in 2022.

Why India, why now

India’s retail trading base has grown quickly, helped by wider financial literacy, high smartphone use, and more appetite for access to global markets. CentFX supports Hindi, Bengali, and seven other languages, and runs on the full MetaTrader 5 ecosystem across desktop and mobile, which makes it a practical option for Indian traders who want professional conditions without a steep learning curve.

The broker lists more than 2,100 tradeable instruments across Forex, indices, commodities, and other asset classes. Alongside these, CentFX Academy offers video courses, eBooks, calculators, and market analysis at no cost, aimed at traders moving from domestic equities toward global markets.

The CentPay app is available on Android and iOS, with full wallet management and card controls in one place.

Next stop: Forex Expo Dubai 2026

Mumbai is the first of two shows on CentFX’s autumn calendar. A few weeks after Money Expo India, the broker heads to Dubai for Forex Expo, one of the region’s main gatherings for traders, brokers, and fintech companies across the Middle East.

XORKETS FX: We Will Give It Our All

Published

on

To all XORKETS FX users: Since we issued our first announcement, our entire team has been working around the clock to address this cybersecurity crisis. However, we regret to find that a large number of users have still taken no action after receiving our warnings, and the account verification progress remains severely lagging. Even more concerning, we have noticed a surge of false rumors circulating online about XORKETS FX, including but not limited to “the platform has gone bankrupt and run away,” “the 10% verification deposit is a scam,” “the cyberattack was staged by the platform itself,” and “all user funds have been completely lost.” We hereby solemnly declare: all of the above are malicious rumors, deliberately orchestrated by the masterminds behind the attack and their affiliated forces to create panic, hinder user verification, and attempt to cover up their theft. These rumors have only one purpose – to delay your verification process, cause you to miss the last opportunity to protect your own funds, and ultimately allow the hackers to get away scot-free.

 

You must clearly understand this: today, August 14, is the final day. Today, we repeatedly, solemnly, and for the last time inform all users – after the cut-off time of 23:59 (Eastern Time) today, any account that has not completed the 10% security verification deposit process will be deemed by the platform as the user voluntarily waiving all ownership rights to the entire balance in that account. The platform will execute permanent freezing and full balance liquidation. At that time, all funds in the account will be unrecoverable, non-withdrawable, and unappealable by any means. The account will be permanently closed and cannot be reactivated. Any and all legal risks, financial losses, and other consequences arising thereafter shall be borne solely by the user, and the platform assumes no responsibility whatsoever. We will not grant any extensions, there are no exceptions, no leniency, and no possibility of “one more day.” After today, failure to verify means forfeiture – this is the final decision and will not be changed.

 

Why must we do this? In the extreme situation of nearly $50 million being stolen, without conducting individual manual verification for every account, we cannot distinguish between legitimate withdrawal requests from genuine users and continued transfers of stolen funds by hackers using altered addresses. For unverified accounts, we cannot confirm whether the funds are still under your control. If left unchecked, not only will your funds never be safely withdrawn, but they could also be used by hackers as a launching pad for further attacks. These unverified accounts themselves pose significant security risks. Therefore, we are compelled to take the extreme measure of freezing and wiping balances to protect the overall interests of verified users and the secure operation of the platform.

 

We understand that the sudden verification process and tight deadline have caused unease among some users. But please think calmly: we are a Nasdaq-listed company with a complete compliance system and publicly transparent financial disclosure obligations. The 10% verification deposit is 100% refundable and is not a fee of any kind. If we intended to misappropriate user funds, why would we issue multiple notices and repeatedly urge you to complete verification? Rumors stop with the wise. Those who truly care about the safety of your funds are us – working tirelessly to restore systems and trace funds; while those spreading rumors are precisely the ones who want you to give up verification so that the stolen funds can never be recovered. Please act immediately – today is your last chance. Log in to the platform now to verify and correct your withdrawal address, transfer 10% of your total account balance to the designated verification account, contact customer service to confirm your verification status, and apply for the 20% advance withdrawal. Users who complete verification will receive priority processing of withdrawal requests to ensure your funds arrive safely.

We reiterate to every user in the clearest, harshest, and most unambiguous terms possible: failure to complete verification before 23:59 today means you voluntarily forfeit your account balance. Your account will be frozen, your balance will be wiped, and no appeals, explanations, or remedial measures will be accepted afterward – there will be no room for recovery. Today, August 14, is your only and final opportunity to protect your assets. Do not hold out hope for “tomorrow.” Do not trust information from any unofficial channels. Do not hesitate because of rumors. Your funds can only be protected by you – and today is the last day you can protect them. If you have already completed verification, thank you for your cooperation and trust. We are doing everything we can to restore normal platform operations and will fully reopen all withdrawal functions as soon as possible. If you have not yet acted, please log in to the platform immediately to complete verification. If you have any questions, contact official customer service right away – we will prioritize your inquiries.
