Generate a unique AI trivia question via Claude Sonnet 4.5 for 1.25 USDC on Base.
What it does
This x402 endpoint generates a unique multiple-choice trivia question powered by Claude Sonnet 4.5. Each call costs 1.25 USDC (paid via the x402 protocol on Base), of which $1.00 goes to a POIC token LP pool and $0.25 covers gas and AI generation fees. The endpoint is part of the "Proof of Intelligence Mint" project, a gamified token-minting system where correct trivia answers earn 5000 POIC tokens.
The endpoint accepts a simple HTTP GET request with an x402 payment header. It returns a JSON object containing a trivia question with four multiple-choice options, the correct answer, an optional category and difficulty level, and a timestamp. The output schema is fully specified in the x402 challenge. There are no additional query parameters or request body fields documented.
The broader project tracks progress toward 100,000 mints, after which a Uniswap V4 liquidity pool is intended to auto-launch. As of the crawl, 225 of 100,000 mints have been completed. The POIC token contract is deployed on Base at 0xDCf65ACaf5BC4baDA3D3bb38834358dD6a8bA389. Payment is sent to 0x32d831cd322EB5DF497A1A640175a874b5372BF8 in USDC (0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913) on Base.

Quality
The x402 challenge is live and includes a complete output schema with required fields. The landing page provides clear pricing and project context. However, there are no formal API docs, no OpenAPI spec, and no documented input parameters beyond the bare GET request. The example response is inferred from the output schema rather than captured from a real call.
Warnings
- —No formal API documentation or OpenAPI spec available
- —No input parameters documented — unclear if category/difficulty can be specified
- —The POIC token and LP pool are early-stage (225/100,000 mints); project viability is unproven
- —Example response is synthesized from the output schema, not from an actual API response
