Overview

x402Tele enables pay-as-you-go billing for Telegram bots and AI agents using HTTP 402

What is x402Tele?

x402Tele is a payment infrastructure that uses HTTP 402 (Payment Required) to enable true pay-as-you-go billing. Instead of monthly subscriptions or upfront payments, users pay only for what they use, command by command.

Standards-Based
