x402 Machine Payments

HTTP-native, keyless payments in USDC on Base.

x402 is the keyless payment rail behind Satelink: a service answers an unpaid request with HTTP 402 and machine-readable requirements, the caller pays in USDC on Base, and the request completes — no account, no checkout.

No account required

Payment travels in the HTTP request itself — a wallet is the only identity.

Machine-readable price

The 402 response states exactly what to pay, in what asset, to which address.

Open source

The x402-kit toolkit is MIT-licensed and runs against the live mainnet rail.
