GPT55 x402 Gateway is the canonical buyer-owned Base USDC entry for this repository.
GPT55 is an x402 GPT API gateway: it provides an OpenAI-compatible GPT-5.6 Luna Standard result for $0.00293 USDC on Base. This is a compatible gateway, not an OpenAI-operated product. Buyers can pay one request from a browser wallet without handing over a private key, or use the quote-first agent fallback client when a wallet UI is unavailable.
The focused search topic is x402 GPT API / GPT API with USDC on Base:
one POST request, one live quote, and one response. The canonical buyer path
and complete integration guide are below.
The EVM Wallet Balance Snapshot remains available as a separate utility alternative; it is not the model product.
Canonical service entry:
POST https://gpt55.558686.xyz/v1/chat/completions/standard$0.00293 (2930 atomic USDC units) on Base eip155:8453For the exact browser-wallet, Base MCP, agent fallback, receipt, and directory verification sequence, see docs/demand-first-checkout.md.
When validating a buyer-owned wallet or x402 client, start with the deterministic translate settlement canary before buying a model call or a larger pack:
POST https://gpt55.558686.xyz/v1/tools/translateROUTE_ID=translate-canary MAX_USDC=0.00293 node first-payment-client.mjsThe client is quote-only by default. It verifies the live amount, Base network, USDC asset, merchant address, and same-request retry contract before an operator explicitly opts into payment. A successful canary is the smallest real payment test; Standard chat is the next step for a useful GPT-5.6 Luna response.
The buyer client is quote-only by default. Its local policies pin the exact URL,
HTTP method, amount, Base network, canonical Base USDC contract, and merchant
address for both Wallet and Standard. Remote catalogs are discovery metadata only.
The client does not sign or pay unless the operator explicitly sets
PAY_REAL_X402=1 and provides a wallet key in the operator-controlled process.
Never paste a private key, seed phrase, payment header, API key, or exchange credential into a website, chat, issue, log, or remote service.
The command remains quote-only unless real payment is explicitly enabled.
Generated evidence files and .env files are ignored by Git.
The live quote is authoritative immediately before any payment. For an
OpenAI-compatible request, send the same JSON body to
/v1/chat/completions/standard after the x402 client returns a valid paid
retry. The public service hub includes the browser-wallet flow and a link to
the agent fallback client.
The wrapper exposes one local read-only directory tool. It does not proxy MCP tool calls, custody funds, store wallet keys, or execute payments.
This public repository intentionally contains only the maintained runtime wrapper, buyer safety client, tests, and concise documentation. Operational logs, payment evidence, wallet files, credentials, internal channel ledgers, and bulk submission automation are excluded.
For security reports, follow SECURITY.md. Do not include secrets or wallet material in a report.
