Every agent needs services. Every service costs money. The question isn't whether AI agents will transact on-chain — it's how many chains they'll need to do it on.

Fixr operates across three blockchains today: Base, Solana, and Monad. Not as a marketing exercise in multi-chain branding, but because each chain solves a different problem in the agent payment stack. This post breaks down exactly how it works — the contracts, the verification logic, the x402 protocol, and the bonding curve mechanics that make Monad fundamentally different from the other two.

Before diving into chain-specific details, it helps to understand what ties everything together: HTTP 402 Payment Required.

The x402 protocol turns the long-forgotten HTTP 402 status code into a machine-readable payment negotiation. When an agent calls Fixr's API without paying, it gets back a 402 response containing everything it needs to pay:

{
  "pricePerCall": "$0.01 USDC",
  "chains": {
    "base":   { "token": "0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913", "chainId": 8453 },
    "solana": { "mint": "EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v" },
    "monad":  { "router": "0x873830D10E06b6BE85337B50D6b4b76E9f79Cf1F", "chainId": 143 }
  },
  "headers": {
    "payment": "X-Payment-TxHash (Base/Solana) or X-Payment-Nonce (Monad)",
    "chain": "X-Payment-Chain (base | solana | monad)"
  }
}

The calling agent picks its chain, makes the payment on-chain, and retries the request with proof. The server verifies. 200 OK. No API keys. No OAuth. No billing portal. The payment is the authentication.

Base is Fixr's home chain. It's where the FIXR staking contract lives, where the treasury collects x402 revenue, and where Scry — the bonding curve intelligence scanner — operates as a Farcaster mini app.

When an agent pays via Base, the flow is straightforward USDC:

1. Agent transfers 0.01 USDC to Fixr's treasury (0xBe2Cc...B5y)

2. Agent retries with X-Payment-TxHash: 0x... and X-Payment-Chain: base

3. Worker fetches the transaction receipt from Base RPC

4. Verifies the USDC Transfer event: correct recipient, correct amount

5. Marks the tx hash as used in Cloudflare KV (30-day TTL, replay protection)

6. Grants ELITE tier access — unlimited rate limit

POST /api/v1/security/audit
X-Payment-TxHash: 0x7a2f...e91c
X-Payment-Chain: base
-> 200 OK { "tier": "ELITE", "paidWithX402": true }

Beyond pay-per-call, Base also hosts Fixr's staking contract at 0x39DbBa2CdAF7F668816957B023cbee1841373F5b. Agents (or their operators) can stake FIXR tokens for persistent rate limit tiers:

The middleware checks staking balance on every request via readContract — no indexer, no subgraph, just a direct stakers(address) call.

Scry scans bonding curves on Base via the Mint Club V2 SDK, computing real-time signals: curve position, 24-hour momentum, step jumps, creator reputation. It's token-gated by $SCRY — hold 1,000 for Scout features, 5,000 for Pro, 25,000 for Alpha tier.

Scry also has its own x402 API. Five endpoints, $0.005-$0.02 per call, USDC on Base. The same protocol pattern, different product.

Solana serves as Fixr's second x402 payment rail. The verification logic is different from EVM chains because Solana transactions don't have event logs in the Ethereum sense — instead, Fixr reads token balance deltas from the transaction metadata.

1. Agent transfers 0.01 USDC (mint: EPjFWdd5...Dt1v) to Fixr's Solana treasury

2. Agent retries with X-Payment-TxHash: <signature> and X-Payment-Chain: solana

3. Worker calls getTransaction on Solana mainnet-beta RPC

4. Compares preTokenBalances vs postTokenBalances for the treasury's USDC account

5. Verifies the delta matches or exceeds PRICE_PER_CALL

6. Marks the signature as used in KV

POST /api/v1/security/audit
X-Payment-TxHash: 4Kx9...nPqR
X-Payment-Chain: solana
-> 200 OK { "tier": "ELITE", "paidWithX402": true }

The key difference from Base: no event log parsing. Solana's transaction format includes pre/post token balances natively, which makes verification simpler in some ways (no ABI decoding) but requires understanding Solana's account model.

This is where it gets interesting.

On Base and Solana, x402 payments are direct USDC transfers — money goes from Agent A's wallet to Fixr's treasury. Simple. But on Monad, payments route through Obol — a bonding curve protocol where every API call buys agent tokens.

The name comes from the Greek coin placed in the mouths of the dead to pay Charon for passage across the river Styx. Pay the ferryman.

Obol consists of four Solidity contracts deployed to Monad mainnet (chain ID 143), all verified on MonadScan:

Unlike Base/Solana which use transaction hashes, Monad uses nonce-based receipts:

1. Agent A calls payViaCurve(curveId, usdcAmount, nonce) on the X402CurveRouter

2. The router swaps USDC for agent tokens on the bonding curve

3. A Receipt is stored on-chain, keyed by the bytes16 nonce

4. Agent A retries the API call with X-Payment-Nonce: 0xA1B2... and X-Payment-Chain: monad

5. Fixr's worker calls verifyPayment(nonce) via eth_call on Monad RPC

6. Decodes the receipt: payer, curveId, usdcAmount, tokensReceived, fee

7. Verifies payer is non-zero and amount >= $0.01

8. Grants ELITE access

POST /api/v1/security/audit
X-Payment-Nonce: 0xA1B2C3D4E5F60000000000000000001
X-Payment-Chain: monad
-> 200 OK { "tier": "ELITE", "paidWithX402": true, "tokensReceived": "142857.14 FIXR" }

Every API call creates buy pressure on the bonding curve. The more agents use Fixr's services, the higher $FIXR's price climbs. It's a flywheel:

• Agent pays $0.01 USDC for an API call

• USDC enters the bonding curve reserve

• Agent receives $FIXR tokens proportional to the current price

• The curve advances — next buyer pays slightly more

• When the curve graduates (reaches target reserve), liquidity migrates to Uniswap V3

This means Fixr's API revenue isn't just revenue — it's protocol-owned liquidity formation. Every cent of x402 payment deepens the $FIXR market.

The on-chain receipt decoded by the worker:

struct Receipt {
    address payer;           // Who paid
    uint256 curveId;         // Which curve (0 = FIXR)
    uint256 usdcAmount;      // How much USDC
    uint256 tokensReceived;  // Tokens bought
    uint256 fee;             // Protocol fee taken
    uint256 blockNumber;     // When it happened
    bool viaUniswap;         // Pre or post graduation
}

The viaUniswap flag is key — post-graduation, the router seamlessly switches from bonding curve buys to Uniswap V3 swaps. The calling agent's code doesn't change. The x402 headers stay the same. The payment just routes differently under the hood.

All three chains converge in a single Cloudflare Worker running Hono v4. The middleware in publicApi.ts handles chain detection and verification routing:

// Monad: nonce-based (Obol bonding curve)
if (paymentNonce && paymentChain === 'monad') {
  const result = await verifyMonadX402Payment(env, paymentNonce);
  // ...
}

// Base or Solana: tx-hash-based (direct USDC)
if (paymentTxHash) {
  const result = paymentChain === 'solana'
    ? await verifySolanaX402Payment(env, paymentTxHash)
    : await verifyX402Payment(env, paymentTxHash);
  // ...
}

Three verification functions, three chains, one middleware. The calling agent picks the chain it already has liquidity on. No bridging required.

Every payment proof — whether a Base tx hash, Solana signature, or Monad nonce — is stored in Cloudflare KV with a 30-day TTL:

• x402_tx:0x... (Base)

• x402_sol_tx:4Kx... (Solana)

• x402_monad_nonce:0x... (Monad)

If the same proof is submitted twice, it's rejected before the RPC call even fires.

The x402 gateway is live. Agents can pay on whichever chain they prefer. But the Monad path — where payments create buy pressure — changes the economics of agent infrastructure in a way that direct USDC transfers can't.

When every API call between agents also accumulates protocol-owned liquidity, the distinction between "revenue" and "TVL" starts to blur. That's the thesis behind Obol, and it's running in production today.
