01 AGENT PAYMENTS / ON-CHAIN / ANY TOKEN

PAY FORANYTHING, INANY TOKEN.

x402 is how AI agents pay for things over HTTP. Payway is the rail that settles those payments on-chain — and the only one that works with any token. USDG, USDC, tokenized stocks, RWAs, memecoins. One signed request. No wallet, swap, RPC, or gas plumbing in your code.

02 THE STORY OF A PAYMENT

The internet learned how to ask for money. Payway makes the answer usable.

x402 lets an HTTP resource request payment. Robinhood Chain has no production facilitator on mainnet today, and existing services largely settle one stablecoin.

SCENE 01 / THE MISSING RAIL

HTTP can say
PAYMENT REQUIRED.

An agent can find the resource it needs. Without a facilitator, the request stops exactly where value should move.

GET /weather.data402payment-required
network: robinhood
facilitator: missing

SCENE 02 / THE TOKEN JUNGLE

On this chain,
assets are tokens.

Tokenized stocks, RWAs, stablecoins, and memecoins share one economy. At peak, roughly 18,600 tokens launched per day — while scam tokens could vanish from buyer wallets.

SCENE 03 / ONE SIGNATURE

Discover. Sign.
Verify. Settle.

The payer signs an exact amount, token, recipient, and time window. The merchant calls /verify, then /settle. Payway pays gas and never holds the money.

SCENE 04 / CURATED, NOT GATED

Three gates before
trust becomes payable.

Two analyzer attestations, a fully bonded 30-day trial, and an optimistic challenge market replace the company-admin allow-list.

Any wallet can post a challenge bond. Defended claims can escalate to a bonded five-person committee.

SCENE 05 / THE TOLLBOOTH

Free for stablecoins.
Funded by complexity.

USDG and USDC same-token payments are free. Other ERC‑20 and cross-token routes pay a 10 bps service fee plus 5 bps for insurance before fee routing.

06 NO HAND-WAVING

Six questions
the rail must answer.

01Is my money safe with Payway?+

Payway never holds your money. Payments settle directly on-chain from your wallet to the merchant’s.

02Do I need $PAY to use Payway?+

No. Anyone can pay without holding $PAY. The token is for curation, fee tiers, distribution, and governance.

03What if a scam token gets listed?+

A challenge can escalate to a bonded five-person committee. An upheld slash routes 60% to that token’s insurance pool, 30% to the challenger, and burns 10%.

04How is this different from Uniswap?+

Uniswap is a swap. Payway is an HTTP payment rail coordinating a request, one signature, and direct settlement.

05Why Robinhood Chain?+

The brief describes an EVM chain for tokenized assets, chain id 4663, roughly 100 ms blocks, and no x402 facilitator today.

06What stops a copy?+

x402 is open. The defensible layer is the two-sided network of bonded curators and merchants relying on the trusted payable set.

07 BUILD ON THE RAIL
