I’ve received dozens of DMs on Discord, Telegram, and X: “Is Suby going to integrate x402?” At first, we didn’t plan to. But after digging into it for hours, it started to make sense. Here’s why 👇 When x402 launched in May, we didn’t see a reason to use it. Suby connects users to Discord & Telegram. They’re third-party platforms, we don’t control the backend or content. So an onchain payment protocol like x402 didn’t really fit our setup. Here’s how Suby works for crypto payment today 👇 - A user pays in crypto (USDC, USDT, ETH, SOL…) - Our server validates the payment onchain - Once confirmed, our bot grants access to the Discord or Telegram community That’s it, fast, reliable, and fully verifiable onchain. For a few weeks now, I’ve been sharing it more openly: our real goal with Suby isn’t just community access. We want to build the financial infrastructure for independents: a way for anyone to accept card and crypto payments, manage subscriptions, and own their income. That’s where x402 becomes relevant. It’s an HTTP-based payment standard from @coinbase that lets apps handle stablecoin payments (USDC) through a web-native flow. Essentially, it standardizes how onchain payments can be requested and confirmed. In our current setup: → user pays → Suby server verifies → bot grants Discord/Telegram access. In a future setup: → user pays (USDC) via x402 endpoint → x402 confirms → Suby grants access to the creator’s own space. Same logic. Different level of ownership. After digging into the spec, x402 isn’t just hype. It’s a clean foundation for trustless, API-level crypto payments, exactly what’s needed to make subscriptions and access systems truly native. We’ll integrate it when we launch our own platform, the next step after Discord and Telegram. For now, we’re testing, learning, and building around one idea: building the infrastructure for creators and independents to monetize their business, whether through card or crypto payments. That’s where Suby is heading.
