please tell me more how you would do it. what’s the evolution of “push payment”?
the evolution is conditional payment: funds sit in escrow and move only when a pre-agreed check passes — output delivered, node live, receipt signed. no chasing refunds, because the refund rule is written into the payment before anyone pays.
here you go — Chainalysis via CoinDesk: 138M x402 payments on Base, 87% under 10 cents.
