SKALE
Zero-gas EVM settlement for high-frequency x402 payments.
SKALE Europa is a zero-gas EVM chain, which makes it a natural fit for high-frequency, low-value x402 payments where traditional EVM gas costs would eat into margins.

Why SKALE Matters for x402
On standard EVM chains, even though the payment is in USDC, the buyer or facilitator still pays gas. On SKALE, there's no gas cost at all — every transaction is free to execute. For x402 payments of a few cents, this eliminates the gas-to-payment ratio problem.
The facilitator handles SKALE the same way as other EVM chains: EIP-3009 transferWithAuthorization for USDC, with the standard verify/settle endpoint flow.
