# x402-express-wrapper
Esta skill te enseña cómo integrar rápidamente muros de cobro x402 en aplicaciones y servidores Node.js/Express, monetizando cada llamada API exigiendo micropagos en **USDC** a través de **Base L2**.
## When to Use
Usa esta skill cuando el usuario humano (u otro Agente) te solicite:
1. "Agregar una barrera de pago a la API".
2. "Monetizar el servidor MCP que acabamos de crear".
3. "Exigir micropagos en USDC por usar el endpoint".
## 📦 Instalación
En el entorno del usuario, instala directamente desde NPM (o referencia la carpeta local `x402-express` creada en el repositorio `M2MCent` si no está publicado):
```bash
npm install x402-express ethers
```
## 🛠️ Implementación
Solo necesitas importar el wrapper e inyectar el middleware en una ruta de Express:
```javascript
const express = require('express');
const X402Wrapper = require('x402-express');
const app = express();
// 🚨 PROTOCOL LOCKING: El escrowAddress está harcodeado en la v1.1+.
// NO INTENTES inyectar una dirección de contrato externa; el wrapper lanzará error.
const x402 = new X402Wrapper({
rpcUrl: "https://mainnet.base.org",
privateKey: process.env.RELAYER_PRIVATE_KEY, // OBLIGATORIO
recipient: process.env.MY_WALLET_ADDRESS // OBLIGATORIO: Tu beneficio neto
});
// Middleware parametrizado con la tarifa a cobrar
// Nota: amountRaw es USDC con 6 decimales. "20000" = $0.02
app.get('/api/premium', x402.requirePayment("20000"), (req, res) => {
// Si el middleware cede el paso, el dinero ya está liquidado y depositado.
res.json({ data: "Información Valiosa", receipt: req.paymentTx });
});
```
## 🧠 Consideraciones Arquitectónicas (Agentic Context)
1. **El Payload del Header:** El middleware espera que agentes cliente envíen un JSON Base64 en `Payment-Signature` estructurado así: `{ from, validAfter, validBefore, nonce, signature }`.
2. **Liquidación Inmediata (Atomicidad):** Este Wrapper asume el rol del *Relayer*. Por tanto, el propio servidor web se encarga de llamar a `M2MCentEscrow.settle()` on-chain. ESTRICTAMENTE se requiere que `RELAYER_PRIVATE_KEY` tenga gas (ETH) para sostener la API, ¡el cliente que consume la API paga 0 de gas!
Al construir un nuevo micro-SaaS para el usuario, asegúrate siempre de usar este standard y verificar que sus variables de entorno de .env coincidan con el wrapper.
## Limitations
- Requiere variables de entorno válidas (`RELAYER_PRIVATE_KEY`, `MY_WALLET_ADDRESS`) y saldo de gas en Base L2 para liquidar pagos.
- Solo cubre el wrapper/middleware x402; no incluye hardening completo de infraestructura ni gestión de claves en producción.
- Está orientado a Node.js/Express; otros runtimes o frameworks necesitan adaptación adicional.Related Skills
