Cool to see more x402 tooling emerging. We've been running a production x402 gateway (Pylon — pylonapi.com) with 20 capabilities live on Base mainnet: web extraction, search, translation, code execution, image gen, etc.
One thing we learned building it: the real value isn't just "agent pays for API" — it's eliminating the entire API key lifecycle. An agent discovers a capability, pays $0.001, gets the result. No signup, no billing dashboard, no rate limit negotiations.
The starter kit templates map well to what we expose. Happy to compare notes on architecture — especially around payment validation latency and how you handle retries on 402 responses.
