IETF Internet-Draft: draft-jeftovic-x402-dns-discovery
Status: Experimental (Independent Submission)
Author: Mark E. Jeftovic — easyDNS Technologies Inc.
This repository tracks the work on x402 DNS Discovery, an experimental proposal to enable lightweight, DNS-based discovery of x402 payment resources.
The mechanism defines the use of _x402 DNS TXT records that advertise HTTPS URLs where clients or agents can retrieve x402 manifests — enabling autonomous agents and applications to discover payment endpoints without prior configuration.
It complements the main x402 protocol by operating one layer earlier in the discovery stack.
