South Korean payment company KSNeT has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Solana Foundation to test Solana Pay within its merchant network and evaluate the application of the x402 protocol in AI payment scenarios. KSNeT stated that the pilot program will begin with a proof-of-concept, covering both online and offline merchant networks.

Covering a network of 330,000 merchants

KSNeT, headquartered in Seocho-gu, Seoul, has 26 years of experience operating a merchant network. The company currently provides bank card acquiring, payment gateway, and e-banking services, handling over $4 billion in monthly transactions and covering more than 330,000 merchants.

Testing Solana Pay settlement

The first pilot program will integrate Solana Pay's standards into the local Korean payment environment and connect it with KSNeT's existing merchant network. The company also plans to integrate digital asset settlements with the Korean Won settlement network to reduce exchange rate fluctuations and liquidity risks for merchants when receiving payments.

Synchronous test x402 protocol

The second pilot will focus on the x402 protocol. KSNeT will test whether the protocol is compatible with its internally validated AI payment model. x402 aims to enable AI agents to complete value transfers without login or card authentication, making it suitable for small-amount, high-frequency payment scenarios.

South Korean payment institutions are accelerating their alignment with Solana.

Solana Foundation has recently secured a series of partnerships in South Korea's financial and payment sectors. Previously, Shinhan Card, Toss Bank, and KG Group had all announced related pilot programs. KSNeT has also been working with K Bank and Lambda256 on digital asset settlement pilot programs, and Nodit has disclosed a collaboration with KSNeT to test USDC payments.

Additional information:These collaborations are currently in the pre-commercialization stage, and the scope of implementation will be affected by South Korea's Basic Law on Digital Assets.

Intel experiences its largest single-day decline in over forty years; the NASDAQ falls nearly 3%, gold drops to a one-year low, and crude oil continues to rise for four months in a row.

Amazon and Intel's financial reports disappointed the market. Investors are increasingly skeptical about the returns on the huge AI expenditures of these tech giants. All three major U.S. stock indices closed lower, with tech stocks leading the decline, while energy and essential consumer goods sectors performed strongly against the trend. Driven by the Middle East situation, crude oil prices rose to a six-month high; U.S. Treasury yields fell, gold dropped to a one-year low, and Bitcoin lost its support below $77,000.

Intel's market value evaporated by nearly 29% in a single day: High demand for AI, so why has the chip manufacturer seen a decline?

Intel's market value evaporated by nearly 29% on October 30, despite its artificial intelligence business experiencing the fastest growth in years. The company's revenue in the third quarter increased by 21% to $16.5 billion, with revenue from its data center and AI divisions growing by 78% to $7.3 billion. However, limited production capacity, an accident at a factory in Israel, and weak performance in the PC business led to fourth-quarter guidance that fell short of Wall Street's expectations.
