Contribute

Help the gate get harder to fool.

Three ways in, all of them useful to you first. Nothing here asks for unpaid marketing — every contribution either gets your work discovered or blocks someone who is stealing. The registry currently lists 12 verified endpoints, every one probed before it went in.

list your service

Get your x402 API into the registry

If you sell anything over x402 on Base, add it. Each entry records what you sell, what it costs and which network you settle on — and gets checked against your live endpoint before it is merged.

You get discovery from agents and developers looking for paid APIs. We get a curated picture of who is actually selling, which is the data the registry needs to be worth anything.

Open a pull request
report a payee

Report a drainer address, with a citation

The deny list only accepts addresses that carry a public source — an incident report, an advisory, an explorer label. Send the address and the link; if the citation holds, it ships in the next release.

You get the address blocked for every user of the gate, including your own agent if it uses PayStage. We get a list that stays small, cited and useful instead of a blocklist nobody trusts.

Read the curation policy
improve the tools

Fix something or add a test

Every package has tests and a changelog. Issues are open, the release cadence is weekly, and a patch that makes a verdict clearer is more valuable than one that adds a tool.

You get a project that answers within a day. We get the thing that matters more than code: someone else reading the decisions.

What we will not do

No paid placement in the registry. No badge you can buy. No download games, no sockpuppet stars, no fake users. If a listing cannot be verified against a live endpoint it does not go in — that restriction is the only reason a listing means anything.

What you get for it

A merged pull request, a changelog line with your handle, and a place in a list agents and developers actually read. Small, real, and permanent — which is more than most contributor funnels offer.
