Mint 50 TOM meme tokens on Base for 0.01 USDC via x402 automated payment.
What it does
This x402 endpoint lets agents and wallets purchase 50 TOM (Tom Cat meme token) on Base Mainnet for 0.01 USDC. The endpoint uses the x402 payment protocol: callers send a POST request with an X-PAYMENT header containing a valid payment authorization, and the service automatically verifies the USDC transfer, mints TOM tokens to the payer's address, and returns a task ID with transaction details.
The minting flow is asynchronous and queue-based. After payment verification, the response includes a taskId and status field (pending → processing → completed/failed). On completion, the result object contains the Basescan transaction hash and the TomCat contract address. The payment asset is USDC (0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913) on Base, and the receiving address is 0x0D6041F6F8FeE3B66efb633716af12c2Da331D77.
The site describes multiple tiers (Starter at $1 for 5,000 TOM, Booster at $5 for 25,000 TOM), but this specific endpoint is the "experience tier" delivering 50 TOM for 0.01 USDC. No formal API documentation or OpenAPI spec is published; the output schema is embedded in the x402 challenge itself. The project positions itself as a meme presale built on Base with x402 autopay settlement.
Capabilities
Use cases
- —Agents autonomously acquiring meme tokens on Base via x402 micropayment
- —Programmatic participation in a meme token presale without manual wallet interaction
- —Demonstrating x402 payment protocol integration for on-chain token minting
- —Building automated portfolio strategies that include meme token allocation
Fit
Best for
- —AI agents that need to autonomously purchase tokens on Base
- —Developers experimenting with x402 payment protocol integrations
- —Meme token collectors looking for automated presale participation
Not for
- —Users seeking large-volume token purchases (this tier is only 50 TOM for 0.01 USDC)
- —Anyone needing stable or utility tokens — this is a meme token with no stated utility
- —Production financial applications requiring audited smart contracts and formal documentation
Quick start

}Endpoint
Quality
The endpoint is live (402 challenge captured) with a well-structured outputSchema embedded in the challenge, but there is no formal API documentation, no OpenAPI spec, and the /docs page returns 404. Pricing and tier details are only partially documented on the landing page. The project is a meme token presale with no audited contracts or formal guarantees.
Warnings
- —No API documentation available — /docs returns 404
- —Meme token with no stated utility or audit; treat as speculative
- —Output schema is inferred solely from the x402 challenge; no independent API spec exists
- —The experience tier (50 TOM / 0.01 USDC) differs significantly from the tiers shown on the landing page (5,000 TOM / $1), which may cause confusion
