Venice x402 (wallet credits)

x402 is Venice's wallet-based payment flow. Pay per request with USDC on Base or Solana mainnet, no account required. Three admin endpoints plus the protocol-level 402 response returned by every inference endpoint.

Endpoint	Auth	Purpose
`POST /x402/top-up`	None (discovery) / `PAYMENT-SIGNATURE` (settlement)	Discover payment requirements, then settle a signed USDC transfer.
`GET /x402/balance/{walletAddress}`	SIWX (`SIGN-IN-WITH-X`)	Current USD balance for a wallet.
`GET /x402/transactions/{walletAddress}`	SIWX	Paginated ledger: `TOP_UP`, `CHARGE`, `REFUND`.

For the SIWX header format itself, see venice-auth.

Header names

Venice accepts three payment header names and two sign-in header names. Send the canonical one in new code; the others exist so older integrations keep working.

Purpose	Canonical	Also accepted
Signed payment (settlement)	`PAYMENT-SIGNATURE`	`X-402-Payment` (Venice original), `X-PAYMENT` (x402 v1 / `x402-fetch`, `x402-axios`)
Wallet sign-in proof	`SIGN-IN-WITH-X`	`X-Sign-In-With-X` (Venice original)
Payment requirements (response)	`PAYMENT-REQUIRED`	—
Settlement result (response)	`PAYMENT-RESPONSE`	—

Pay with a wallet: end-to-end

1. Call an inference endpoint with no balance → `402`

Any inference endpoint (e.g. POST /chat/completions) returns a 402 with structured topUpInstructions and siwxChallenge when the wallet balance is too low. The PAYMENT-REQUIRED response header carries the x402 v2 paymentRequired object (base64-encoded JSON containing x402Version, error, resource, accepts[], and optional extensions) — it is not the same payload as the 402 body, which is a richer balance/top-up document.

{
  "error": "Payment required",
  "code": "PAYMENT_REQUIRED",
  "message": "Insufficient x402 balance",
  "suggestedTopUpUsd": 10,
  "minimumTopUpUsd": 5,
  "supportedTokens": ["USDC"],
  "supportedChains": ["base", "solana"],
  "topUpInstructions": {
    "step1": "POST /api/v1/x402/top-up with no payment header to get payment requirements",
    "step2": "Choose a payment option from accepts and sign a USDC transfer authorization using the x402 SDK (createPaymentHeader)",
    "step3": "POST /api/v1/x402/top-up with the signed X-402-Payment header",
    "receiverWallet": "<RECEIVER_WALLET_ADDRESS>",
    "tokenAddress": "<USDC_TOKEN_ADDRESS>",
    "tokenDecimals": 6,
    "network": "eip155:8453",
    "minimumAmountUsd": 5
  },
  "siwxChallenge": {
    "info": { "domain": "api.venice.ai", "statement": "Sign in to Venice AI", ... },
    "supportedChains": [
      { "chainId": "eip155:8453", "type": "eip191" },
      { "chainId": "eip155:8453", "type": "eip1271" },
      { "chainId": "solana:5eykt4UsFv8P8NJdTREpY1vzqKqZKvdp", "type": "ed25519" }
    ]
  }
}

topUpInstructions describes the Base rail only (it predates the Solana rail and still names the EVM receiver, token, and network). It also still names the legacy X-402-Payment header in step3. To pay on Solana, read the accepts[] array from POST /x402/top-up instead. siwxChallenge.supportedChains is the authoritative list of chains and signature types you can sign in with.

2. Discover payment requirements — `POST /x402/top-up` (no header)

curl -X POST https://api.venice.ai/api/v1/x402/top-up

Response 402. accepts[] carries one entry per payment rail (Base and Solana today):

{
  "x402Version": 2,
  "accepts": [
    {
      "scheme": "exact",
      "network": "eip155:8453",
      "asset": "<USDC_TOKEN_ADDRESS>",
      "amount": "5000000",          // base units; USDC = 6 decimals → 5 USDC
      "payTo": "<RECEIVER_WALLET_ADDRESS>",
      "maxTimeoutSeconds": 300,
      "extra": { "name": "USD Coin", "version": "2" }
    },
    {
      "scheme": "exact",
      "network": "solana",
      "asset": "<USDC_MINT_ADDRESS>",
      "amount": "5000000",
      "payTo": "<SOLANA_RECEIVER_ADDRESS>",
      "maxTimeoutSeconds": 300,
      "extra": { "name": "USD Coin", "version": "2", "feePayer": "<VENICE_FEE_PAYER>" }
    }
  ]
}

Pick the entry whose network matches your wallet and echo it back unchanged. Venice accepts either the short alias or the CAIP-2 form on the way in (base or eip155:8453; solana or solana:5eykt4UsFv8P8NJdTREpY1vzqKqZKvdp), so the safest thing is to send back exactly what you were given.

On Solana, extra.feePayer is the Venice-operated account that pays the transaction fee. Set it as the fee payer on the transfer you sign so the payer does not need SOL.

3. Sign a USDC transfer → `POST /x402/top-up` with `PAYMENT-SIGNATURE`

The x402 SDK does the EIP-712 USDC transferWithAuthorization signing for you:

npm install x402

import { createPaymentHeader } from 'x402'
import { Wallet } from 'ethers'

const wallet = new Wallet(process.env.WALLET_KEY!)
// 1. Discover
const discover = await fetch(`${base}/x402/top-up`, { method: 'POST' })
const { accepts } = await discover.json()
const req = accepts.find(a => a.network === 'eip155:8453' || a.network === 'base')

// 2. Sign payment for $10 (write your own amount in base units)
const amount = '10000000' // $10
const header = await createPaymentHeader({ ...req, amount }, wallet)

// 3. Settle
const settle = await fetch(`${base}/x402/top-up`, {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'PAYMENT-SIGNATURE': header },
})
const { data } = await settle.json()
console.log(data.newBalance, data.amountCredited, data.paymentId)

The settlement result is also returned base64-encoded in the PAYMENT-RESPONSE response header.

200 response:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "walletAddress": "0x...",
    "amountCredited": 10,
    "newBalance": 22.5,
    "paymentId": "payment_01HZ..."
  }
}

4. Call inference again — credits are now debited from the wallet

The venice-x402-client SDK wraps steps 1–4: it catches 402, auto-tops-up to a configured amount, and retries.

`GET /x402/balance/{walletAddress}`

curl "https://api.venice.ai/api/v1/x402/balance/0xYOUR_WALLET" \
  -H "SIGN-IN-WITH-X: <base64 siwx>"

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "walletAddress": "0x...",
    "balanceUsd": 12.5,
    "canConsume": true,
    "minimumTopUpUsd": 5,
    "suggestedTopUpUsd": 10,
    "diemBalanceUsd": 5.25    // optional — present if the wallet is linked to a Venice account with DIEM
  }
}

The SIWX signer must match the path wallet — 403 otherwise.

`GET /x402/transactions/{walletAddress}`

curl "https://api.venice.ai/api/v1/x402/transactions/0xYOUR_WALLET?limit=50&offset=0" \
  -H "SIGN-IN-WITH-X: <base64 siwx>"

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "walletAddress": "0x...",
    "currentBalance": 12.35,
    "transactions": [
      {
        "id": "ledger_01H...",
        "amount": -0.15,
        "balanceAfter": 12.35,
        "type": "CHARGE",
        "createdAt": "2026-04-03T12:34:56.000Z",
        "requestId": "chatcmpl-...",
        "modelId": "zai-org-glm-5-1"
      },
      {
        "id": "ledger_01H...",
        "amount": 10,
        "balanceAfter": 12.5,
        "type": "TOP_UP",
        "createdAt": "2026-04-03T12:00:00.000Z",
        "requestId": null,
        "modelId": null
      }
    ],
    "pagination": { "limit": 50, "offset": 0, "hasMore": false }
  }
}

Transaction types

`type`	Sign of `amount`	Meaning
`TOP_UP`	positive	`/x402/top-up` settlement.
`CHARGE`	negative	Inference debit. `requestId` / `modelId` link back to the call.
`REFUND`	positive	Failed request refund or manual adjustment.

Query parameters

`/x402/transactions/{walletAddress}`

Param	Notes
`limit`	1–100. Default 50.
`offset`	Number of entries to skip. Default 0.

Use offset + limit and pagination.hasMore for paging.

Constants

Chains — Base mainnet, chain ID 8453 (eip155:8453), and Solana mainnet (solana:5eykt4UsFv8P8NJdTREpY1vzqKqZKvdp).
Token — USDC (6 decimals) on both rails. Native USDC on Base; not USDbC.
Signature types — eip191 and eip1271 (smart contract wallets) on Base, ed25519 on Solana.
Minimum top-up — $5 by default. A small number of allow-listed wallets (e.g. internal test wallets) may have a lower per-wallet override — always use the minimumTopUpUsd returned in topUpInstructions / /x402/balance rather than hardcoding 5.
x402 SDK — npm install x402 for raw payment header signing, or venice-x402-client for the managed Venice flow.
Receiver wallets, token contracts, and the Solana fee payer are returned in accepts[] / topUpInstructions; don't hardcode them.

Errors

Code	Meaning
`400`	Below minimum top-up, invalid wallet format, or other validation.
`401`	`SIGN-IN-WITH-X` header is present but invalid (bad signature, expired, nonce reuse, unsupported chain) — returned as `X402_SIGN_IN_*` error codes.
`402`	Expected discovery response on `/x402/top-up` (no payment header), on `/x402/balance` and `/x402/transactions` when the SIWX header is absent, and on any inference endpoint when the wallet balance is insufficient. Settlement errors use `INVALID_PAYMENT` / `INVALID_PAYMENT_FORMAT` / `INSUFFICIENT_FUNDS` / `EXPIRED_PAYMENT` codes. Rail mismatches use `INVALID_PAYMENT_RECIPIENT`, `UNSUPPORTED_TOKEN`, and `UNSUPPORTED_SCHEME` (only `scheme: "exact"` is accepted).
`403`	SIWX wallet ≠ path wallet.
`429`	Too many top-ups/balance checks.
`500`	Settlement failure; retry with a fresh nonce.

Gotchas

Use the x402 SDK (npm install x402) for signing. Hand-rolling the EIP-712 transferWithAuthorization is risky — nonce reuse ⇒ INVALID_PAYMENT.
The SIWX signer wallet must match the walletAddress path param on balance / transactions. Separate wallets can't inspect each other.
/x402/top-up is unauthenticated on the discovery call — auth is implicit via the signed PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header on settlement.
Don't read the rail off topUpInstructions. It still describes Base only. accepts[] is the multi-rail list.
balanceUsd on /x402/balance is the USDC credit balance only. diemBalanceUsd, when present, is a separate linked-account number — sum them yourself if you need a combined figure.
PAYMENT-REQUIRED (uppercase, hyphens) is the header with base64-encoded x402 paymentRequired object; don't confuse it with the body field code: "PAYMENT_REQUIRED" (which only appears on insufficient-balance bodies, not on auth-style 402s).
On /x402/balance and /x402/transactions, missing the SIWX header returns 402 (not 401). Only a present-but-invalid header returns 401 with a X402_SIGN_IN_* code.
The x402 v2 accepts[].amount is in base units (e.g. "5000000" = 5 USDC). Don't multiply by decimals again.
DIEM, BUNDLED_CREDITS, and Bearer-account USD are independent from wallet credits. For account balance, use venice-billing.

# Venice x402 (wallet credits)

x402 is Venice's **wallet-based payment** flow. Pay per request with USDC on Base or Solana mainnet, no account required. Three admin endpoints plus the protocol-level `402` response returned by every inference endpoint.

| Endpoint | Auth | Purpose |

## Pay with a wallet: end-to-end

### 1. Call an inference endpoint with no balance → `402`

Any inference endpoint (e.g. `POST /chat/completions`) returns a `402` with structured `topUpInstructions` and `siwxChallenge` when the wallet balance is too low. The `PAYMENT-REQUIRED` response header carries the **x402 v2 `paymentRequired` object** (base64-encoded JSON containing `x402Version`, `error`, `resource`, `accepts[]`, and optional `extensions`) — it is **not** the same payload as the 402 body, which is a richer balance/top-up document.

```json
{
  "error": "Payment required",
  "code": "PAYMENT_REQUIRED",
  "message": "Insufficient x402 balance",
  "suggestedTopUpUsd": 10,
  "minimumTopUpUsd": 5,
  "supportedTokens": ["USDC"],
  "supportedChains": ["base", "solana"],
  "topUpInstructions": {
    "step1": "POST /api/v1/x402/top-up with no payment header to get payment requirements",
    "step2": "Choose a payment option from accepts and sign a USDC transfer authorization using the x402 SDK (createPaymentHeader)",
    "step3": "POST /api/v1/x402/top-up with the signed X-402-Payment header",
    "receiverWallet": "<RECEIVER_WALLET_ADDRESS>",
    "tokenAddress": "<USDC_TOKEN_ADDRESS>",
    "tokenDecimals": 6,
    "network": "eip155:8453",
    "minimumAmountUsd": 5
  },
  "siwxChallenge": {
    "info": { "domain": "api.venice.ai", "statement": "Sign in to Venice AI", ... },
    "supportedChains": [
      { "chainId": "eip155:8453", "type": "eip191" },
      { "chainId": "eip155:8453", "type": "eip1271" },
      { "chainId": "solana:5eykt4UsFv8P8NJdTREpY1vzqKqZKvdp", "type": "ed25519" }
    ]
  }
}
```

`topUpInstructions` describes the **Base** rail only (it predates the Solana
rail and still names the EVM receiver, token, and network). It also still names
the legacy `X-402-Payment` header in `step3`. To pay on Solana, read the
`accepts[]` array from `POST /x402/top-up` instead. `siwxChallenge.supportedChains`
is the authoritative list of chains and signature types you can sign in with.

### 2. Discover payment requirements — `POST /x402/top-up` (no header)

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.venice.ai/api/v1/x402/top-up
```

Response `402`. `accepts[]` carries **one entry per payment rail** (Base and
Solana today):

```json
{
  "x402Version": 2,
  "accepts": [
    {
      "scheme": "exact",
      "network": "eip155:8453",
      "asset": "<USDC_TOKEN_ADDRESS>",
      "amount": "5000000",          // base units; USDC = 6 decimals → 5 USDC
      "payTo": "<RECEIVER_WALLET_ADDRESS>",
      "maxTimeoutSeconds": 300,
      "extra": { "name": "USD Coin", "version": "2" }
    },
    {
      "scheme": "exact",
      "network": "solana",
      "asset": "<USDC_MINT_ADDRESS>",
      "amount": "5000000",
      "payTo": "<SOLANA_RECEIVER_ADDRESS>",
      "maxTimeoutSeconds": 300,
      "extra": { "name": "USD Coin", "version": "2", "feePayer": "<VENICE_FEE_PAYER>" }
    }
  ]
}
```

Pick the entry whose `network` matches your wallet and echo it back unchanged.
Venice accepts either the short alias or the CAIP-2 form on the way in (`base`
or `eip155:8453`; `solana` or `solana:5eykt4UsFv8P8NJdTREpY1vzqKqZKvdp`), so the
safest thing is to send back exactly what you were given.

On Solana, `extra.feePayer` is the Venice-operated account that pays the
transaction fee. Set it as the fee payer on the transfer you sign so the payer
does not need SOL.

### 3. Sign a USDC transfer → `POST /x402/top-up` with `PAYMENT-SIGNATURE`

The **x402 SDK** does the EIP-712 USDC `transferWithAuthorization` signing for you:

```bash
npm install x402
```

```ts
import { createPaymentHeader } from 'x402'
import { Wallet } from 'ethers'

const wallet = new Wallet(process.env.WALLET_KEY!)
// 1. Discover
const discover = await fetch(`${base}/x402/top-up`, { method: 'POST' })
const { accepts } = await discover.json()
const req = accepts.find(a => a.network === 'eip155:8453' || a.network === 'base')

// 2. Sign payment for $10 (write your own amount in base units)
const amount = '10000000' // $10
const header = await createPaymentHeader({ ...req, amount }, wallet)

// 3. Settle
const settle = await fetch(`${base}/x402/top-up`, {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'PAYMENT-SIGNATURE': header },
})
const { data } = await settle.json()
console.log(data.newBalance, data.amountCredited, data.paymentId)
```

The settlement result is also returned base64-encoded in the `PAYMENT-RESPONSE`
response header.

`200` response:

```json
{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "walletAddress": "0x...",
    "amountCredited": 10,
    "newBalance": 22.5,
    "paymentId": "payment_01HZ..."
  }
}
```

### 4. Call inference again — credits are now debited from the wallet

The `venice-x402-client` SDK wraps steps 1–4: it catches `402`, auto-tops-up to a configured amount, and retries.

## `GET /x402/balance/{walletAddress}`

```bash
curl "https://api.venice.ai/api/v1/x402/balance/0xYOUR_WALLET" \
  -H "SIGN-IN-WITH-X: <base64 siwx>"
```

```json
{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "walletAddress": "0x...",
    "balanceUsd": 12.5,
    "canConsume": true,
    "minimumTopUpUsd": 5,
    "suggestedTopUpUsd": 10,
    "diemBalanceUsd": 5.25    // optional — present if the wallet is linked to a Venice account with DIEM
  }
}
```

The SIWX signer **must match** the path wallet — `403` otherwise.

## `GET /x402/transactions/{walletAddress}`

```bash
curl "https://api.venice.ai/api/v1/x402/transactions/0xYOUR_WALLET?limit=50&offset=0" \
  -H "SIGN-IN-WITH-X: <base64 siwx>"
```

```json
{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "walletAddress": "0x...",
    "currentBalance": 12.35,
    "transactions": [
      {
        "id": "ledger_01H...",
        "amount": -0.15,
        "balanceAfter": 12.35,
        "type": "CHARGE",
        "createdAt": "2026-04-03T12:34:56.000Z",
        "requestId": "chatcmpl-...",

      },
      {

        "modelId": null
      }
    ],
    "pagination": { "limit": 50, "offset": 0, "hasMore": false }
  }
}
```

### Transaction types

| `type` | Sign of `amount` | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| `TOP_UP` | positive | `/x402/top-up` settlement. |
| `CHARGE` | negative | Inference debit. `requestId` / `modelId` link back to the call. |
| `REFUND` | positive | Failed request refund or manual adjustment. |

## Query parameters

### `/x402/transactions/{walletAddress}`

| Param | Notes |
|---|---|
| `limit` | 1–100. Default 50. |
| `offset` | Number of entries to skip. Default 0. |

Use `offset + limit` and `pagination.hasMore` for paging.

## Constants

- **Chains** — Base mainnet, chain ID `8453` (`eip155:8453`), and Solana mainnet (`solana:5eykt4UsFv8P8NJdTREpY1vzqKqZKvdp`).
- **Token** — USDC (6 decimals) on both rails. Native USDC on Base; not USDbC.
- **Signature types** — `eip191` and `eip1271` (smart contract wallets) on Base, `ed25519` on Solana.
- **Minimum top-up** — `$5` by default. A small number of allow-listed wallets (e.g. internal test wallets) may have a lower per-wallet override — always use the `minimumTopUpUsd` returned in `topUpInstructions` / `/x402/balance` rather than hardcoding `5`.
- **x402 SDK** — `npm install x402` for raw payment header signing, or `venice-x402-client` for the managed Venice flow.
- **Receiver wallets, token contracts, and the Solana fee payer** are returned in `accepts[]` / `topUpInstructions`; don't hardcode them.

## Errors

| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `400` | Below minimum top-up, invalid wallet format, or other validation. |
| `401` | `SIGN-IN-WITH-X` header is **present** but invalid (bad signature, expired, nonce reuse, unsupported chain) — returned as `X402_SIGN_IN_*` error codes. |
| `402` | Expected **discovery** response on `/x402/top-up` (no payment header), on `/x402/balance` and `/x402/transactions` when the SIWX header is **absent**, and on any inference endpoint when the wallet balance is insufficient. Settlement errors use `INVALID_PAYMENT` / `INVALID_PAYMENT_FORMAT` / `INSUFFICIENT_FUNDS` / `EXPIRED_PAYMENT` codes. Rail mismatches use `INVALID_PAYMENT_RECIPIENT`, `UNSUPPORTED_TOKEN`, and `UNSUPPORTED_SCHEME` (only `scheme: "exact"` is accepted). |
| `403` | SIWX wallet ≠ path wallet. |
| `429` | Too many top-ups/balance checks. |
| `500` | Settlement failure; retry with a fresh nonce. |

## Gotchas

- Use the **x402 SDK** (`npm install x402`) for signing. Hand-rolling the EIP-712 `transferWithAuthorization` is risky — nonce reuse ⇒ `INVALID_PAYMENT`.
- The SIWX signer wallet must match the `walletAddress` path param on `balance` / `transactions`. Separate wallets can't inspect each other.
- `/x402/top-up` is unauthenticated on the **discovery** call — auth is implicit via the signed `PAYMENT-SIGNATURE` header on settlement.
- Don't read the rail off `topUpInstructions`. It still describes Base only. `accepts[]` is the multi-rail list.
- `balanceUsd` on `/x402/balance` is the **USDC** credit balance only. `diemBalanceUsd`, when present, is a **separate** linked-account number — sum them yourself if you need a combined figure.
- `PAYMENT-REQUIRED` (uppercase, hyphens) is the **header** with base64-encoded x402 `paymentRequired` object; don't confuse it with the body field `code: "PAYMENT_REQUIRED"` (which only appears on insufficient-balance bodies, not on auth-style 402s).
- On `/x402/balance` and `/x402/transactions`, **missing** the SIWX header returns `402` (not 401). Only a present-but-invalid header returns `401` with a `X402_SIGN_IN_*` code.
- The x402 v2 `accepts[].amount` is in **base units** (e.g. `"5000000"` = 5 USDC). Don't multiply by decimals again.
- `DIEM`, `BUNDLED_CREDITS`, and Bearer-account `USD` are independent from wallet credits. For account balance, use [`venice-billing`](../venice-billing/SKILL.md).

Review the source

Skill source recorded

Skill instructions are recorded. This is not a runtime test, safety guarantee or compatibility certification.

Review before install: Avoid automatic install

Dependency or permission surface needs review
Permission surface may require sandboxing
Financial research output is not financial advice; require human review before any live investment decision
Potential broker, wallet, exchange, or real-money execution surface; sandbox and explicit approval are required

Open full audit

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.

Start with one small task

1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.

Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
