Where x402 payments settle

Zheng Jie Lim · Artemis · Data as of

Two pie charts showing the reported x402 settlement mix: 82.1 percent on Base and 99.8 percent in USDC, as of May 5, 2026.

Which chains and stablecoins carry x402 payments? This infographic presents two views of the settlement mix: Base compared with other chains, and USDC compared with other stablecoins.

The charts sit alongside cumulative payment counts, payment volume and merchant figures in the original artwork. Together, they show the concentration of settlement infrastructure in the source’s x402 dataset.
