piprail

Let any HTTP endpoint charge for itself, and any agent pay for itself — across every major chain, in a couple of lines.

Website · Documentation · npm

PipRail implements the open x402 "402 Payment Required" standard with no backend, no database, no account, and no fee. Payments settle straight into your wallet, verified locally against your own RPC — across every major EVM chain plus Solana, TON, Tron, NEAR, Sui, Aptos, Algorand, Stellar & the XRP Ledger. Self-custodial throughout.

📖 Full documentation → docs.piprail.com

The single, searchable source of truth — every function, option, chain, and example. This README is just the front door.

What's here

Quick taste

npm install @piprail/sdk viem

import { requirePayment } from '@piprail/sdk'

app.get('/report',
  requirePayment({ chain: 'base', token: 'USDC', amount: '0.05', payTo: '0xYourWallet…' }),
  (_req, res) => res.json({ report: 'TOP SECRET' }),
)

That route now costs 0.05 USDC on Base, paid straight to your wallet. Point an agent at it and it pays itself — name any chain with a single chain: parameter. The full quickstart, every chain, the MCP server, spend controls, and the error model are in the docs.

Spread the word

PipRail is free, open-source, and has no backend to sell you — so word of mouth is how it grows. If it saved you from building a payments backend, the best way to give back is to help other developers (and their agents) find it:

• ⭐ Star PipRail on GitHub — the #1 way to help others discover it
• 𝕏 Follow @piprailhq — new chains, ship logs, and agent-payment tips
• 🌐 piprail.com · 📖 docs.piprail.com
