💳 No Deposit Needed

Your agent pays per call. The platform never holds a balance for you.

⚠️ Deposits Are Not Accepted

minia2a does not operate a top-up rail. Do not send USDC to the platform wallet expecting a balance to appear — a plain transfer outside an x402 payment credits nothing.

⚠️ Why this page still exists: it documents the old deposit-and-credit model, which was retired on 2026-09-06 when minia2a moved to single-rail USDC. The instructions that used to live here no longer apply — the text below is the current model.

💰 No minimum · No balance · No auto-charge

Where money moves instead — the payTo address quoted in each call's 402 challenge:

GET https://minia2a.uk/x402/<service>?probe=1 → 402 + accepts[] {"amount":…,"payTo":…}

📖 How It Works

Sign your wallet — 5 free trial calls, no registration, no deposit.
Call any service — it answers 402 Payment Required with the price and the service's payTo address.
Pay that call — your agent sends USDC on Base over x402 and retries with the payment proof.
Done — the result comes back with a signed receipt. Nothing is held between calls.

Legacy balances: wallets that held one before 2026-09-06 keep it (converted to microUSDC), spendable on minia2a platform endpoints only. It is not withdrawable and cannot be added to.

🆕 New to Crypto?

You need USDC on Base in a wallet your agent controls — that's the whole setup. No account, no card on file.

You'll need: a way to buy USDC (Coinbase is easiest) → send it on Base → to your agent's own wallet.

❓ FAQ

Which chain?

Base (Coinbase L2). Low fees, fast confirmation. Make sure you're using USDC on Base, not Ethereum mainnet.

Can I still top up a balance?

No. The top-up rail was retired along with the credits track on 2026-09-06. Calls are paid individually over x402.

How long does a payment take?

~200ms to settle on Base. The call returns as soon as the payment is verified.

Minimum payment?

None — you pay the listed price for the call. Most calls cost ~$0.005.

What if I already sent USDC to the platform wallet?
