Submit trivia answers via x402 on Base to mint POIC tokens when correct.
What it does
Proof of Intelligence Mint is an x402-powered endpoint on Base that accepts trivia answers and mints POIC tokens to the caller's wallet upon a correct response. The endpoint requires a POST with a question ID, answer string, and wallet address. Payment is 1000 units of USDC (asset 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913) on Base, described as a minimal fee for x402scan visibility. The broader game flow costs 1.25 USDC per question: $1.00 goes to a liquidity pool accumulating toward a Uniswap V4 launch, and $0.25 covers gas and AI question-generation fees.
Trivia questions are generated by Claude Sonnet 4.5 as multiple-choice (4 options). A correct answer triggers an on-chain mint of 5000 POIC tokens directly to the submitted wallet address. The response includes a boolean correctness flag, a message, and optional transaction hashes (token mint and USDC). After 100,000 successful mints the accumulated USDC LP pool auto-launches on Uniswap V4. As of the crawl, 225 of 100,000 mints have been completed with 1.13M POIC in circulation out of a 500M total supply.
The project also advertises an "Intelligence Miner Agent" on x402scan that automates answering with claimed 100% accuracy, paying the standard fee per question and depositing rewards to a configured wallet.
Capabilities

Fit
Best for
- —Developers experimenting with x402 payment protocol on Base
- —Agents or bots that can programmatically answer trivia
- —Users seeking gamified token minting with on-chain rewards
Not for

}Endpoint
Quality
The endpoint is live with a valid 402 challenge and a well-defined input/output schema. The landing page provides good context on game mechanics and pricing. However, there is no formal OpenAPI spec, no dedicated docs page, and the exact flow for obtaining a questionId is not documented in the crawl material.
Warnings
- —No formal API documentation or OpenAPI spec available
- —The mechanism to obtain a valid questionId before submitting an answer is not documented in crawled material
- —The x402 challenge maxAmountRequired (1000) does not obviously match the stated 1.25 USDC cost described on the site—unit interpretation unclear
- —Project is early-stage with only 225/100,000 mints completed
