Nory - x402 Payment Protocol Implementation

The fastest, most efficient x402 payment processor for AI agents and micropayments.

What is x402?

x402 is an open HTTP payment protocol that enables:

• AI agents to pay for API access programmatically
• Micropayments without traditional payment rails
• Multi-chain support (Solana, Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Avalanche, and more)

When a client requests a paid resource, the server responds with HTTP 402 and payment requirements. The client pays and retries with proof of payment.

Features

• Multi-chain: Solana + 7 EVM chains supported
• 0.1% fees: Lowest in the industry
• Sub-second verification: Optimized for speed
• Echo mode: Test payments with real refunds
• Enterprise security: API keys, HMAC signing, rate limiting
• Observability: Structured logging, metrics, health checks

Quick Start

Installation

npm install @nory/x402-client

Client Usage

import { NoryClient } from '@nory/x402-client';

const client = new NoryClient({
  baseUrl: 'https://noryx402.com',
  apiKey: 'your_api_key', // optional
});

// Make a payment
const result = await client.pay({
  resource: 'https://api.example.com/premium-endpoint',
  network: 'solana-mainnet',
  amount: '1000000', // 1 USDC (6 decimals)
  payTo: 'merchant_wallet_address',
});

Server Integration

Add x402 payment requirements to any endpoint:

// Return 402 with payment requirements
return new Response(null, {
  status: 402,
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    x402Version: 2,
    accepts: [{
      network: 'solana:5eykt4UsFv8P8NJdTREpY1vzqKqZKvdp',
      amount: '1000000',
      currency: 'USDC',
      payTo: 'YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS',
    }],
    resource: request.url,
  }),
});
