Overview

Kobaru is an x402 micropayment gateway that lets developers monetize existing APIs via a transparent proxy and SDKs, with per-request and dynamic pricing. Clients/agents receive a standard x402 challenge and settle on Solana, Base, or SKALE, with payment validated at the gateway edge. It provides an open-source API Paywall Cookbook. Positioned for agent-to-API commerce.
