Purchase 25,000 TOM meme tokens on Base for 5 USDC via x402 automated payment.
What it does
This x402 endpoint lets callers purchase 25,000 TOM ("Tom Cat") meme tokens on Base Mainnet for 5 USDC. It represents the "Booster Tier" of a two-tier presale: a Starter Tier at 1 USDC for 5,000 TOM and this Booster Tier at 5 USDC for 25,000 TOM. Payment is handled via the x402 protocol using USDC's transferWithAuthorization on Base (chain ID 8453), so the entire flow—payment verification, token minting, and receipt generation—is automated after a single wallet signature.
The endpoint accepts a POST request with an X-PAYMENT header containing the x402 payment credential. On success it returns a task object with a taskId, the amount of TOM minted, the recipient address, a status field (pending → processing → completed or failed), and upon completion a result object containing the Basescan transaction hash and the TomCat contract address. The payment is routed to address 0x0D6041F6F8FeE3B66efb633716af12c2Da331D77 using USDC at 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913 on Base, with a max timeout of 300 seconds.
No formal API documentation, OpenAPI spec, or pricing page exists beyond the landing page. The project describes itself as a meme presale combining cartoon nostalgia with x402 payment rails. Each tier is limited to 5,000 TOM per pack, and the Booster Tier bundles 5 packs.

Quality
The endpoint is live (402 challenge captured) with a well-structured outputSchema describing both input headers and response fields. However, there is no formal API documentation, no OpenAPI spec, no examples beyond what can be inferred from the schema, and the project is a meme token presale with no docs page. The landing page provides useful context but limited technical detail.

- —No OpenAPI or formal schema beyond the x402 challenge outputSchema
- —Limited project history and no audit information available
- —Response schema is inferred from outputSchema; no real response sample was captured
