AKEDO integrates x402 protocol, public access to open from November
Foresight News reported that the crypto payment protocol AKEDO has integrated the x402 protocol, enabling instant gas-free AI creative payments on BNB Chain (settled on the Base network). Users can pay micro resource fees with one click, without approval or registration, as relayers cover the gas fees. The proxy automatically pays for models such as GPT, DALL·E 3, Runway, HeyGen, ElevenLabs, Sora, and Cursor, with more models to be supported soon.
According to the official statement, this feature will be open for public access starting in November; it supports USDC on the Base network or fiat top-ups, and the AKE token (BNB Chain) will soon be supported via cross-chain. Settlement traffic throughput and reliability are currently being increased and verified.

Citi raises TSMC target price to 4,000 New Taiwan dollars, maintains Buy rating
Citi analysts stated in a research report that, driven by robust AI computing demand, the potential expansion of AI agents, and the rise of co-packaged optics (CPO) network cycles, TSMC’s revenue growth rate is expected to remain above 40% through 2027.
