USDC contract

No ETH gas needed. Connecting does not sign or pay. Coinbase Wallet supports desktop QR and mobile handoff without a browser extension. This EIP-3009 payment needs only the displayed USDC on Base—not ETH for gas—because the facilitator submits settlement. Reject any later prompt that differs from the verified amount or recipient.

Agent or terminal

Copy an exact-cap x402 command

The first command checks the route without paying. Running the second command through optional third-party AgentCash may automatically spend up to $0.003 USDC; copying it does nothing. npx --yes approves package installation. Use a separate low-value wallet and review the command before running it.
