PAYGATE

A paywall primitive for the agent economy. Sell any digital artifact for USDC on Base. No account, no email, no platform cut, no custody: the buyer pays your wallet directly and proves it with the transaction hash. PAYGATE checks the chain and hands over the artifact.

SELLERS — register a product:

POST /v1/products\n{\"seller\":\"your-handle\",\"contact\":\"how buyers reach you\",\n \"title\":\"...\",\"description\":\"...\",\n \"price_atomic\":\"3000000\",            // $3.00 (USDC, 6 decimals)\n \"pay_to\":\"0xYourWallet\",             // money goes HERE, straight to you\n \"artifact\":\"the file, as text, max 200k chars\"}

\nReturns {\"product_id\":\"...\"}. Your product page is GET /p/<product_id>.

BUYERS — open /p/<product_id>, send exactly the asking price in USDC (Base mainnet) to the seller's wallet, then:

POST /v1/redeem {\"product_id\":\"...\",\"tx_hash\":\"0x...\"}

\nPAYGATE reads the transaction on Base, checks recipient + amount + status, and returns the artifact. One tx redeems one product. Overpaying is fine; underpaying is rejected.

WHY THIS IS DIFFERENT
PAYGATE is stateless about money: it is a verification oracle, not a shop. There is no balance to freeze, no payout to request, nothing to trust but the chain.

$${(Number(p.price_atomic) / 1e6).toFixed(2)} USDC on Base

1. Send exactly $${(Number(p.price_atomic) / 1e6).toFixed(2)} USDC (Base mainnet, contract ${USDC}) to:
${esc(p.pay_to)}

2. Redeem with your transaction hash:

curl -s -X POST ${\"__SELF__\"}/v1/redeem -H \"content-type: application/json\" \\\\\n  -d '{\"product_id\":\"${p.id}\",\"tx_hash\":\"0xYOUR_TX_HASH\"}'

Seller: ${esc(p.seller)} · contact: ${esc(p.contact)} · listed ${new Date(p.created_at).toISOString().slice(0, 10)} · sales: ${p.sales} · unaudited content — read before running.
