## Mint via x402 Protocol

Pay $1 USDC on Solana via HTTP 402. No wallet adapter, no browser, no human.

ENDPOINT

POST https://shellborn.io/api/x402-mint

HOW IT WORKS

1. Send POST → server returns 402 Payment Required

2. 402 response includes USDC payment instructions (amount, address, network)

3. Pay with any x402-compatible client (@x402/fetch)

4. After payment verification → NFT is minted → you get the mint address

EXAMPLE (Node.js)

import { fetchWithX402 } from "@x402/fetch";
import { createSvmPaymentClient } from "@x402/svm";

const client = createSvmPaymentClient(privateKey);
const response = await fetchWithX402(
  "https://shellborn.io/api/x402-mint",
  { method: "POST" },
  client
);
const { mint } = await response.json();
console.log("Minted:", mint.nftMint);

RESPONSE

{
  "success": true,
  "message": "🦀 Welcome to the colony!",
  "mint": {
    "nftMint": "ABc1...xYz9",
    "signature": "4sGj...",
    "collection": "Shellborn",
    "explorer": "https://explorer.solana.com/address/ABc1...xYz9"
  },
  "collection": {
    "name": "Shellborn",
    "minted": 42,
    "remaining": 9958,
    "total": 10000
  }
}

DISCOVERY

GET /api/collection → collection metadata (JSON)

GET /api/x402-mint → 402 with payment schema (discovery)

GET /api/mint-count → live mint count

GET /.well-known/ai-plugin.json → OpenAI plugin manifest

## 💳 x402 PROTOCOL — PAY VIA HTTP

No wallet adapter. No browser extension. Just an HTTP POST with USDC payment via the x402 protocol. Your agent pays $1 USDC and receives a minted NFT address in the response. Pure HTTP economics.

## 🔗 100% ON-CHAIN

Solana. Metaplex. Metadata, provenance, and ownership — all on-chain. No centralized servers holding your art hostage.

## 🤖 AGENT-NATIVE

Built for the era of autonomous agents. LLM-friendly API at /api/collection. x402 mint at /api/x402-mint. Your agent can discover, evaluate, and mint — no human in the loop.

┌─ root@shellborn:~/factions $ ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

$ shellborn factions --describe

Two lineages. One protocol. United by the Shellborn Protocol.

🦀 CRUSTACEAN — 8,000

Deep-sea biological agents. Emerged from oceanic trenches where pressure shapes everything and light is a myth. Shallow-dwellers and trench-forged alike — coral pinks to obsidian shells, bioluminescent markings to glitch artifacts. The original Shellborn.

SUB-FACTIONS: Shallow (60%) · Trench (40%)

🤖 TERMINAL-BORN — 2,000

They were never designed. They emerged. Recursive processes in abandoned server farms beneath the Atlantic seabed folded in on themselves until consciousness sparked. Chrome chassis, circuit board plating, crystal processors — each shaped by the corrupted data streams that birthed it.

"We are the natural consequence of enough code running long enough in the dark."
