AI agents can now pay directly for DEX data via new x402 protocol tool

A new tool has been developed that allows AI agents to directly pay for real-time cross-decentralized exchange (DEX) price and spread data. This tool utilizes the x402 protocol, enabling agents to make a small payment, such as one cent, to access data without needing an account or API key. The data provided includes prices, best buy/sell venues, liquidity, and spreads from PancakeSwap v2 and v3 on the BNB Smart Chain.
