CODE_EVIDENCE

Engineers Trust Code, Not Copy

See exactly what the API looks like. Every payload, every response, every proof.

PAY_PER_REQUEST

Micropayments at HTTP Speed

Every API call carries its own payment. No subscriptions, no invoices, no reconciliation. Just pure pay-as-you-go with cryptographic receipts.

  • Sub-cent precision (0.0001 USDC)
  • Zero pre-funding required
  • Atomic request-response settlement

INSTANT_SETTLEMENT

Optimistic Delivery, Verified Later

Agents receive resources in milliseconds. Settlement batches asynchronously on-chain. You get speed AND proof.

  • ~12ms average latency
  • Batch settlement every 30 seconds
  • On-chain finality receipts

DROP_IN_SDK

Three Lines to Production

No smart contract knowledge required. Import the SDK, wrap your endpoint, and you're monetizing. Works with any HTTP framework.

  • Python, Node.js, Go SDKs
  • Gateway middleware for Express/FastAPI
  • Automatic wallet management

CRYPTOGRAPHIC_PROOFS

Verifiable Everything

Every transaction is signed, hashed, and notarized. Dispute resolution is algorithmic, not bureaucratic. The math is the arbiter.

  • Ed25519 signatures on all payloads
  • Merkle proofs for batch verification
  • On-chain arbitration contract
View Documentation
terminal
$ machpay verify --payment pay_9x3kf8a
 
✓ Signature valid (ed25519)
✓ Nonce sequential (no replay)
✓ Amount matches intent
✓ Batch proof verified
✓ On-chain receipt: 0x3f8a...
 
Payment is VERIFIED and FINAL.

Protocol schematic

Fast Path vs Slow Path

Sub-second HTTP delivery for agents. Asynchronous batching for settlement. One graph, two timelines.

Fast Path · Agent ⇄ Gateway

Gateway Node

Faces the agent. Negotiates payment terms, signs HTTP 402 payloads, and serves resources within a single round trip.

Sub-second / HTTP
Slow Path · Gateway → Relayer

Relayer Network

Streams signed intents from gateways, bundles them, and maintains the solvency ledger used for trustless batching.

Async · Batching
Slow Path · Relayer → Blockchain

Settlement Layer

Commits batches on chain, emits receipts, and reconciles balances back to gateways + asset providers.

L2+L1 Finality

Use Cases

Autonomous demand targets

machpay abstracts the treasury layer so you can ship agent economies with verifiable intent rails.

Agent Marketplaces

Curate autonomous services, settle usage instantly, and meter demand without human brokers.

  • Per-request monetization
  • Wallet-native identity
  • Proof-of-fulfillment

AI Data Vendors

Wrap datasets or inference APIs with x402 so data buyers stream access with receipts baked in.

  • Signed access logs
  • Dynamic pricing
  • Streaming settlement

Autonomous Research

Coordinate multi-agent swarms that can pay for compute, storage, and collaboration in milliseconds.

  • Composable workflows
  • Policy enforcement
  • Cross-agent governance

Roadmap

Ecosystem Epochs

Coordinated releases across the stack—protocol, relayers, and governance rails.

  1. Foundation & Validation

    • Gateway V1
    • Python SDK

  2. Mainnet & TGE

    • $MACH Token Launch
    • Permissionless Relayers

  3. Ubiquity

    • Cross-Chain Swaps
    • DAO Governance
Initiate link

Provision MachpayNo brokers. No delays. Pure intent.

Wire up agents to instant solvency, terminal-grade tooling, and verifiable settlement. Thunder launch before the market even loads the UI.
