What it does

This x402 endpoint implements a simple tipping mechanism — "buy someone a coffee" — using the x402 payment protocol on the Base network. When an unauthenticated GET request is made, the endpoint returns a 402 Payment Required challenge specifying that 1 USDC (1,000,000 units in 6-decimal USDC) must be sent to the wallet address 0xb81F6a3dE77c5192aA08Ed3F0376159e72412bF0 via the "exact" payment scheme. The accepted asset is USDC (contract 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913) on Base.

The hosting application at x402-poc.vercel.app is a proof-of-concept that lets users create their own x402 tip links. The landing page shows a simple "Create your x402 tip link" interface. There is no additional documentation, pricing page, or OpenAPI spec available — the 402 challenge itself is the primary specification for interacting with this endpoint.

To complete a payment, a caller must include an X-PAYMENT header conforming to x402 version 1 with the exact amount. The payment timeout is 300 seconds. Upon successful payment, the endpoint returns an application/json response. Because this is a proof-of-concept, there is no information about rate limits, SLAs, or the structure of the success response beyond the MIME type.

The endpoint is live and returns a well-formed x402 challenge with clear payment parameters. However, this is a proof-of-concept with no documentation, no OpenAPI spec, no success response examples, and no information about what is returned after payment. The description and title are minimal and auto-generated.

Warnings

  • Proof-of-concept deployment — no SLA, documentation, or guarantees
  • No docs, OpenAPI spec, or pricing page available (all return 404)
  • Success response schema is unknown; only MIME type application/json is specified
  • Wallet address in URL is user-specific — this is one instance of a generic tip-link generator
