net.gentechlabs/x402-gateway
Pay-per-call x402 services for agents: risk scoring, DeFi, wallet and market data.
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
claude mcp add --transport http x402-gateway 'https://api.gentechlabs.net/mcp'
{
"mcpServers": {
"x402-gateway": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://api.gentechlabs.net/mcp"

Encode Club Programmable Money Hackathon — Circle × Arc
Track: Agentic Economy — AI agents that hold wallets, pay and transact autonomously in USDC Repo (public): https://github.com/Gentech-Labs/programmable-money-x402
The Problem
AI agents need to pay for APIs, compute, and data — but there's no standard way to do it programmatically. Every integration means manual API keys, subscriptions, or custom payment flows. Real agent autonomy requires programmable money.
The Solution
x402 on Arc — a payment gateway that bridges Circle's USDC infrastructure with the HTTP 402 Payment Required standard:
- An agent calls an API → gets HTTP 402 with payment requirements
- The agent pays USDC on Arc (sub-second settlement, USDC fees)
- Access is granted — no API keys, no signups, no human in the loop
This is programmable money for the agent economy.
Architecture
Agent → HTTP Request → x402 Middleware → HTTP 402 + Arc USDC invoice
↓ ↓
Access Granted ← Payment Verified ← Agent pays USDC on Arc
Track Focus
Agentic Economy — AI agents hold wallets on Arc, pay for services in USDC autonomously, using Circle's stablecoin-native L1 for sub-second settlement.
Components
- x402 Gateway — middleware that drops into any API, handles 402 → payment → access
- Arc Settlement Layer — USDC transfers via Circle's infrastructure on Arc
- Agent SDK — one function call for any agent to pay x402 APIs
- Playground — test transactions, manage wallets, see the flow live
Why Arc + Circle
Arc is built for this — USDC as the native fee token, sub-second finality, and programmable wallet infrastructure. x402 on Arc means agents settle payments in the same block they're requested.
