SKALE Launches Developer Showcase Series Following Successful X402 Hackathon

**Dexter AI has launched on the SKALE Network**, enabling high-frequency x402 agent payments without gas fees. **Key features:** - Zero gas fee transactions for AI agent payments - Built on SKALE's Ethereum-native infrastructure - Designed to eliminate cost and latency barriers for agent payment scaling The launch addresses a critical challenge in AI agent economies: traditional blockchain networks impose transaction costs that make micro-payments impractical. By leveraging SKALE's architecture, Dexter AI can process frequent, small-value transactions between AI agents without the friction of gas fees. This development represents a practical step toward making autonomous agent-to-agent payments viable at scale.
