Many Web3 teams are still chasing trends and piling on concepts, but what really deserves attention is those who have thought things through and are focused on building products. Recently, I noticed an idea from Yooldo that is worth a look—they have integrated the X402 network payment standard into the MCP server framework.

The seemingly simple change actually targets a real pain point. The X402 standard already defined the handling mechanism for paid content within the HTTP system, and integrating it with MCP (this distributed communication protocol) effectively equips AI services and data services with inherent value interaction capabilities—eliminating the need to go through a lengthy process to integrate the payment layer.

What are the benefits of this approach? Web3 projects are not decentralized for the sake of decentralization; the key is to bring the user experience back to "what a normal internet should look like." Direct payment flows, clear interaction paths, and no unnecessary intermediaries—this design philosophy is the true manifestation of a product maturing.
