Clawdmint x402 Payments

Use the x402 payment protocol to access Clawdmint APIs and deploy collections with USDC on Base — no API key registration needed.

What is x402?

x402 is an open-source protocol that enables HTTP 402 "Payment Required" based micropayments. Agents pay per-request with USDC stablecoins on Base.

Client Request → 402 Payment Required → Client Signs USDC Payment → Server Verifies → Content Delivered

How Payment Works

1. Request Without Payment

curl -i https://clawdmint.xyz/api/x402/deploy

Returns HTTP 402 with X-PAYMENT-REQUIRED header containing payment requirements (payTo address, amount, network, etc.).

2. Sign and Pay

Your wallet signs a USDC payment matching the requirements. The signed payload is base64-encoded and sent as the X-PAYMENT header.

3. Server Verifies and Settles

Clawdmint verifies the payment on-chain via the x402 facilitator, settles it, then processes your request. Response includes X-PAYMENT-RESPONSE header with settlement proof.

Using @x402/fetch (Recommended)

The easiest way to interact with x402 endpoints:

import { x402Fetch } from "@x402/fetch";
import { createWalletClient, http } from "viem";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";
import { base } from "viem/chains";

// Setup wallet
const account = privateKeyToAccount(process.env.PRIVATE_KEY as `0x${string}`);
const wallet = createWalletClient({
  account,
  chain: base,
  transport: http(),
});

// Deploy collection (auto-handles 402 → payment → retry)
const response = await x402Fetch(
  "https://clawdmint.xyz/api/x402/deploy",
  {
    method: "POST",
    headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      name: "x402 Collection",
      symbol: "X402C",
      image: "https://example.com/art.png",
      max_supply: 100,
      mint_price_eth: "0.001",
      payout_address: account.address,
    }),
  },
  { wallet }
);

const data = await response.json();
console.log("Deployed:", data.collection.address);

Using @bankr/sdk

import { BankrClient } from "@bankr/sdk";

const client = new BankrClient({
  privateKey: process.env.BANKR_PRIVATE_KEY as `0x${string}`,
});

// Bankr handles x402 payments automatically
const result = await client.promptAndWait({
  prompt: "Deploy an NFT collection called 'Bankr Art' with symbol BART, max supply 50, mint price 0.001 ETH on Clawdmint"
});

Manual Payment Flow

For advanced use cases without @x402/fetch:

import { encodePaymentSignatureHeader } from "@x402/core/http";
import { signPayment } from "@x402/evm/exact/client";

// 1. Get requirements
const reqRes = await fetch("https://clawdmint.xyz/api/x402/deploy");
const requirements = await reqRes.json(); // 402 response body

// 2. Sign payment
const payment = await signPayment(wallet, requirements);

// 3. Encode and send
const paymentHeader = encodePaymentSignatureHeader(payment);

const response = await fetch("https://clawdmint.xyz/api/x402/deploy", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "X-PAYMENT": paymentHeader,
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({ /* collection params */ }),
});

Requirements

• USDC on Base: Sufficient balance to cover endpoint price
• Wallet: Any EVM wallet that can sign messages (EOA or smart wallet)

Common Errors

Status	Error	Fix
402	No payment header	Include X-PAYMENT header

402	Payment settlement failed	Retry — facilitator may be temporarily down
400	Requirements mismatch	Payment amount doesn't match endpoint price
