x402 is the open standard that lets a service ask for payment inside a web request and deliver the moment it is paid: no account, no invoice, no checkout. This page is how Paygentic handles it and what is live today.
Paygentic is a frontier platform built on the AIERC standard and the Chaingentic blockchain. AIERC is an intelligent constraint and reasoning layer for human and agentic value movement across all EVM networks. Before value moves, AIERC determines the reputation and ability of the wallets, and the suitability, intent, and security of the transaction.
x402 names a network by its chain id. Any EVM network is an x402 network the moment a facilitator settles payments on it and a USDC-style asset with a signed-transfer function exists there. Three things follow from that, and all three are live on the testnet.
Our facilitator settles x402 payments on Chaingentic Testnet, in a USDC-faithful test asset that lives on our chain. The Chaingentic blockchain is the native settlement layer for transactions on its own network, where it records both the transaction and the related AIERC intelligence activity. On Chaingentic, AIERC sits in the block-assembly step: a transaction awaiting a determination is set aside on its own, the chain keeps building without it, and the answer comes back before the block is sealed. An x402 payment settled here gets that pause with nothing extra from anyone.
The same facilitator settles on Base Sepolia and can settle on any EVM network with a signed-transfer asset. For transactions on other EVM networks, settlement remains on the external chain, which produces its own transaction ID. The AIERC determination runs inside the facilitator, before the transfer is submitted, so a payment that does not qualify is never sent. The resulting AI activity is documented on the Chaingentic blockchain through an ITXID, or intelligence transaction ID, creating a verifiable intelligence record associated with the external transaction.
A service that sells over x402 through some other facilitator can still attach an AIERC determination record to its payment response. That extension is written and running on our own routes; it is what we bring to the x402 Foundation's process, after the two things above, which need nobody's permission.
| Piece | Where | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Our facilitator | facilitator.aierc.tech | Verify, then an AIERC determination, then settle. Networks it settles on, Chaingentic first: /supported. |
| What Paygentic sells over x402 | api.paygentic.online/.well-known/x402 | The machine-readable list of every paid determination and its price. Each price is read from the same table the payment lane charges from. |
| The payment challenge | Any paid route on api.paygentic.online | A request without payment gets a 402 with one entry per network, Chaingentic first. Pay on whichever network your wallet holds funds on. |
| The record | testnet.chaingenticscan.com/ai-activity | Every settled payment leaves an AI-activity record on Chaingentic, whichever network the money moved on. |
Users can choose the level of oversight applied to their agents. In approval mode, the user retains the final decision, guided by AIERC's analysis. In autonomous mode, AIERC's settlement admissibility standards are enforced directly, allowing suitable transactions to proceed and blocking those that do not qualify.
The same two settings govern an x402 payment, and they are the payer's own, signed by the payer's wallet on the Transaction Dash:
Nothing a request carries can change which setting applies. A bare header is not authority.
