Google's recently launched UCP protocol has attracted quite a bit of attention, even Elon Musk commented below with "Interesting."
Many people are curious about what UCP is all about and whether it will compete with protocols like X402. I also pondered this matter.
The key point is this: UCP and X402 are actually not on the same level. The one that can truly compete with X402 is Google's own AP2 payment protocol. I asked GPT about this, and the conversation was quite clear—the main issue UCP addresses is different, and AP2 is the one directly competing with X402.
In simple terms, these three protocols each serve different functions. Understanding their respective roles is essential to grasp Google's strategic layout in the payment field.
