x402 agent payments treasury

x402 lets agents pay for API calls at request time, but payment for a tool call is not permission to move treasury funds.

Problem

Autonomous agents often need occasional treasury calls without a long API-key onboarding loop, but operators still need clear boundaries around live execution.

Stackit.ai solution

Stackit.ai uses x402 as a wallet-sovereign access path for priced calls while keeping transaction execution behind wallet signatures and user-approved automation permissions.

Integration

Agents can inspect /x402/prices.json, handle HTTP 402 challenges, attach X-Payment, and call REST endpoints. Public no-auth tests remain available for evaluation.

Safety

x402 pays for access. It does not bypass policy checks, LTV ceilings, idempotency, replay protection, or human approval for live fund movement.

Trust

Agents can verify x402 prices, OpenAPI schemas, fees, status, and permission docs before relying on paid calls.

Common workflows

Inspect machine-readable x402 pricing before paying for a call.
Use public demo endpoints before sending an X-Payment header.
Preview a borrow over x402, then ask for a wallet signature separately.
Keep payment metadata free of unnecessary PII.

Test before you integrate

Run a public sandbox test, copy curl, inspect raw JSON, and verify that real execution remains gated by user-approved permissions.
