x402 bounty on Hedera winners announced

Hedera x402 bounty winners reveal five testnet-based implementations turning API calls into pay-per-request endpoints on Hedera. Projects like Pinout, Tally, Xorv, Qisma, and Mystic demonstrate metered services (compute, AI quotas, VPN) settled via Hedera Consensus Service and HIP-991/HIP-336/HIP-376 mechanisms, with fees paid by facilitators and no contracts required. Each project provides live demos and open-source repos, illustrating practical x402 deployments and on-chain verifiability for Hedera-based pay-per-use models.
