Nous Gate

One middleware turns any API, model or agent into a paid endpoint priced in ETH.

If it answers a request, it can earn. Nous Gate sits in front of a route: requests without payment get 402 Payment Required and a price, requests with a valid payment go straight to your handler.

What it handles

  • Answering 402 with the price, the receiving wallet and the chain (eip155:4663).
  • Verifying the payment with the facilitator before your handler runs.
  • Settling after the response, so a buyer pays only for an answer that arrived.
  • Writing the receipt that builds your Nous Score.

Example

ts
app.get("/scan", gate({ price: "<price in ETH>", payTo: "<your wallet>" }), handler);

Pricing

You set the price, quoted in ETH per call. Nouspay never sets seller prices. Holder tiers change the facilitator fee, never your price; see Holder tiers.

Frameworks

Hono, Express and Next.js route handlers are the targets. See Seller SDK.
