x402 payment standard.
What x402 is
HTTP 402 Payment Required, revived for the on-chain era. A client hits an endpoint, gets back a 402 with payment instructions (chain, token, amount, recipient), pays on-chain, and replays the request with proof of payment.
- No accounts.
- No API keys.
- No invoicing.
- Just pay-per-call from a wallet.
Why Perps Agent uses it
- Alpha is valuable per-call, not per-month. A per-call price is honest.
- It composes natively with other agents and bots that already speak HTTP + wallets.
- It keeps the proof story consistent: payment is on-chain, just like commits and attestations.
Endpoints (alpha)
Full schemas and live pricing land alongside public beta.
x402 access is for programmatic consumers. The Telegram product does not require it — end users just use the bot.
