deposit.now provides programmable HTTP payment infrastructure for autonomous software agents. It is not a bank, broker-dealer, money transmitter, investment adviser, or custodian.
Non-custodial
We do not hold customer funds. USDC settlements occur on Base via the x402 facilitator and are sent directly to on-chain addresses declared in the payment requirements. We cannot reverse, freeze, or recover on-chain transfers.
Cryptocurrency and stablecoin risk
- USDC is a stablecoin subject to issuer, smart-contract, and regulatory risk. Depegs, blacklists, and network outages can affect settlement.
- Base is an L2 network. Bridge, sequencer, and contract risks apply.
- Irreversibility: confirmed on-chain payments cannot be undone by deposit.now.
- Volatility: while USDC is designed to track USD, it is not legal tender.
Deposit amount = payment amount
The amount field in the request body becomes the x402 payment price. The agent pays this amount in USDC on-chain — it settles directly to the recipient wallet (merchant payTo address or the platform wallet). Read the litepaper for the economic model.
Experimental software
The x402 protocol, facilitators, and deposit.now are early-stage. Downtime, breaking changes, facilitator errors, and settlement delays are possible. Use at your own risk in production systems.
No financial or legal advice
Nothing on this site constitutes financial, tax, or legal advice. Consult qualified professionals before using crypto payment rails in regulated industries.
Public receipts
Settled payments may produce public receipts with wallet addresses and transaction hashes. Do not use the API if you cannot accept public on-chain attribution.
Geographic restrictions
You are responsible for compliance with laws in your jurisdiction. We may restrict access where required by law.
Forward-looking statements
Roadmap items (merchant endpoints, marketplace listings, pricing changes) are plans, not guarantees. See about for current status.
