The Casper blockchain platform, in collaboration with investment company Sarson Funds, has introduced an updated version of the stablecoin csprUSD. Upon launch, it will become the primary dollar-pegged stablecoin of the Casper ecosystem and will be used for automated settlements between AI agents via the x402 protocol.
This update follows the establishment of the x402 Foundation under the Linux Foundation, which includes Visa, Mastercard, Google, Coinbase, Circle, Stripe, AWS, and Cloudflare. The x402 protocol allows AI agents to independently pay for goods and services online by sending standard HTTP requests without using traditional payment systems.
The new version of csprUSD will be compatible with Casper 2.0 and will support the CEP-3009 standard. Users and AI agents will be able to authorize payments off-chain, with their execution then occurring on-chain. The ecosystem will also integrate Casper's ProofLayer technology, which generates cryptographic proofs for data residing off-chain. This will enable verification of csprUSD's backing by dollar reserves and monitoring of token issuance and redemption.
Before the mainnet launch, the stablecoin's smart contract will undergo an additional independent security audit. Previously, Casper also reduced the minimum transaction fee from 2.5 to 0.1 CSPR following the approval of proposal CEP-97.
