About
I'm Vedant Anand, co-founder of Bags and an x402 contributor and maintainer. I build agentic commerce infrastructure: payment APIs that let AI agents pay per request in USDC. My work spans full-stack TypeScript and Solidity smart contracts.
I mentored OWASP BLT contributors in Google Summer of Code 2026. I study Electrical and Computer Engineering at Thapar Institute and expect to graduate in 2027.
Technical writing
How I build payment APIs for AI agents with x402 connects my work on Bags and AgentPay with contributions to the protocol.

Toolkit
Agentic payments, x402 and DeFi work
Most of what I build is payment infrastructure: charging AI agents per API call over x402, settling in USDC across chains, and the Solidity underneath it. Here is the work worth reading about, including what I shipped into the protocol itself and what I shut down.
Bags - pay-per-call APIs for AI agents
February 2026 – Present
Role: Co-founder. Built x402 payment APIs for AI agents with USDC verification, payment records, and tax invoices. Supported by Founders Inc., Canopy, and Superteam.
x402 protocol contributions
December 2025 – September 2026
Role: Contributor. Four merged pull requests to x402: payment-scheme validation, EIP-2612 permit tests, ERC-20 gas constants, and extension documentation.
