Gate402

What is Gate402?
Gate402 is a high-performance proxy that allows developers to monetize APIs using crypto micropayments in under five minutes. Built on the x402 payment standard and powered by Mantle, Gate402 acts as an intelligent layer between your API and its consumers. It handles payment validation and request routing automatically, so you never have to write billing code again.

What Problem Does Gate402 Solve?
For Developers:

• Stripe's Minimum Problem: Traditional payment processors require $0.50+ minimums, making micropayments ($0.001-$0.10 per API call) economically impossible

• High Marketplace Fees: Platforms like RapidAPI take 20% of revenue, leaving developers with only 80% of what they earn

• Development Time Waste: Building payment infrastructure from scratch takes weeks of engineering time that could be spent on core product

• AI Agent Payment Gap: AI agents (Claude, ChatGPT, custom agents) cannot use traditional payment systems autonomously—they need programmatic, per-call payment flows

For the Ecosystem:

• Blocked API Economy: Millions of valuable APIs remain free because monetization infrastructure doesn't exist for micropayments

• Web3 Adoption Barrier: Crypto developers are forced to use Web2 payment systems (Stripe) despite building crypto-native products

• Global Access Inequality: Developers in 190+ countries cannot access Stripe or PayPal, blocking them from global API markets

The Solution:
Gate402 provides:

✅ True micropayments starting at $0.001 per request (no minimums)
✅ 2% platform fee (vs 20% marketplace fees or Stripe's 2.9% + $0.30)
✅ 5-minute deployment (no SDK, no code changes required)
✅ MCP-native support for AI agent autonomous payments (industry-first)
✅ Non-custodial architecture (payments go directly to developer wallets)
✅ Real-time analytics dashboard for revenue tracking and customer insights
