Accepted coins and networks
| Coin | Networks | Processor | Billing | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| USDC | BasePolygonArbitrum One | Not stated | Pay per invoice | Pay-per-request via the x402 protocol on POST /base/x402 (one endpoint per chain), from $0.001 per standard call (minimum). Docs say you only pay for requests that succeed. Regular plans (Free, Hacker, Starter, Pro, Scale) are billed separately. |
How to pay
- Docs: Pay per request (x402). POST a JSON-RPC body to rpc.nodeflare.app/base/x402 (or another chain slug) without a key, answer the 402 challenge with a signed USDC authorization. Not tested with a live payment.
- Choose the coin and the network shown at checkout. Pay only on a network listed above for that coin.
- Send the exact amount from a wallet you control, before the payment window expires. Sending on a different network can lose the funds.
- Keep the transaction ID until the order is confirmed. If the payment does not show up, contact NodeFlare support with it.
