How x402 Stablecoin Settlement WorksHow x402 stablecoin settlement works: USDC on Base, the facilitator role, on-chain verification, and payouts to the seller wallet.FAQ

Why stablecoins instead of volatile crypto?

Stable value keeps pricing sane. A one-cent quote today is still one cent tomorrow.

Why Base network?

Low fees make sub-cent and few-cent payments practical, which expensive mainnets cannot do.

What does the facilitator actually do?

It verifies the on-chain payment matches the quote and tells your server it is safe to serve content.

How fast is settlement?

Typically seconds. The agent pays, the chain confirms, verification passes, and content unlocks.

Who pays the network fee?

Usually the payer covers a small gas fee on top. Keep quotes slightly above cost to stay profitable.

Can sellers get payouts in local currency?

Facilitators and exchanges offer off-ramps, but that step sits outside the x402 flow itself.
