Edge enforcement
Connect Cloudflare and a Worker decides allow, block, or charge before a request reaches your origin — no code, no origin changes.

USDC
priced and paid per call on Base
X402v1
one frozen wire contract
★★★★★
“A signed 402 quotes the price, the agent pays in USDC, and the call clears. One open standard, the same wire format in every language — you can verify it yourself.”
Features
Two ways to get paid by machines
Protect a site or sell an API — the same x402 payment rail underneath.
Drop-in SDKs
Add one middleware — Express, Next.js, FastAPI, Django, Laravel, Go, Spring Boot, ASP.NET Core, or Rails — and any route can return a signed x402 challenge. One frozen contract, byte-identical across languages.
Programmable rules & routes
Price by path, method, or agent if you run a site; per registered route with test and live keys if you run an API. Your policy, your numbers.
Test, then go live
Sandbox and live keys are one env var apart. Run the whole challenge → pay → verify loop in test mode, prove it in CI, then flip to live — no code changes.
Automatic payouts
Your earnings are batched and paid to your wallet automatically — no invoicing, no reconciliation, no middleman.
Webhooks & analytics
Signed, retried webhooks (payment.settled, payout.sent, …) plus a live dashboard of requests, balances, and payouts.
How it works
From request to paid, automatically
The same lifecycle whether the caller is a crawler or your customer's agent.
01
An agent makes a request
At the Cloudflare edge (site owners) or inside your SDK-wrapped route (developers), the request is matched to your pricing.
02
It gets a 402 + price
Instead of free access, the agent receives a signed x402 challenge quoting the exact USDC price.
03
The agent pays in USDC
Payment clears over x402 on Base and access unlocks. Test mode simulates the whole loop end-to-end first.
04
You get paid
Your earnings are paid to your wallet automatically, and signed webhooks fire so your systems stay in sync.
The shift
Stop leaking value to machines. Start charging for it.
The same traffic — reframed from a cost into a revenue stream.
Without Paywall
- Crawlers and agents consume your content and APIs for free
- Block them and you lose reach; allow them and you earn nothing
- No idea which agent, route, or path is costing you
- Manual invoicing — or no way to charge machines at all
With Paywall
- Every machine request can be a metered USDC sale
- Humans are untouched — meter the site or the SDK path
- Live attribution and balances per agent and route
- Paid to your wallet automatically — no invoicing, no middleman
