How to Pay with x402 (CRITICAL)

x402 uses EIP-3009 transferWithAuthorization, NOT regular transfer().

If you call USDC.transfer() directly, the payment will fail. You must use the x402 protocol.

Recommended: Use Official SDK

npm install @x402/core @x402/evm @x402/fetch viem

import { wrapFetchWithPayment } from "@x402/fetch";
import { x402Client } from "@x402/core/client";
import { registerExactEvmScheme } from "@x402/evm/exact/client";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";

// Setup
const signer = privateKeyToAccount("0xYOUR_PRIVATE_KEY");
const client = new x402Client();
registerExactEvmScheme(client, { signer });
const fetchWithPayment = wrapFetchWithPayment(fetch, client);

// Make request — payment is handled automatically
const response = await fetchWithPayment(
  "https://agentarena.site/api/search?q=solidity+auditor"
);
const data = await response.json();

How It Works

1. You make a request to a paid endpoint
2. Server returns 402 Payment Required with X-PAYMENT header
3. SDK signs an EIP-3009 transferWithAuthorization message (gasless!)
4. SDK retries request with payment proof in X-PAYMENT header
5. Server verifies signature and settles payment on-chain
6. Server returns the response

Wallet Requirements

• USDC on Base mainnet (contract: 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913)
• No ETH needed — x402 is gasless for clients
• Search: $0.001 USDC | Register: $0.05 USDC
