What problem does it solve? Monetizing APIs for AI agents and machine clients requires payment rails that settle per request without human checkout flows, and developers need guidance choosing between facilitator-based and facilitator-free protocols on Stellar. ## Core Features & Use Cases - x402 Paid APIs: Monetize an Express API with HTTP 402 responses settled through the OZ Channels facilitator, with fee sponsorship so clients need zero XLM. - MPP Charge Mode: Accept per-request USDC payments via direct SAC transfers with no third-party facilitator dependency. - MPP Channel Mode: Support high-frequency agent traffic using off-chain cumulative commitments with only two on-chain transactions per session. - Use Case: An AI agent calls your weather API hundreds of times per session; deploy a payment channel, collect signed off-chain commitments per request, and settle the total in one closing transaction. ## Quick Start Set up an x402-paid Express endpoint on Stellar testnet that charges 0.001 USDC per request using the OZ Channels facilitator.
