Preparing a transaction (building the unsigned calldata) is free. The x402 USDC charge is collected only at POST /send-transactions, when Brickken broadcasts the operation. The send price below carries the full per-operation cost. Prices are in USDC on Base mainnet. Sandbox, Base Sepolia, and other non-production environments use a flat reference price of 0.01 USDC per send.
The exact amount, asset, and chain are always quoted in the PAYMENT-REQUIRED header of the 402 response (and previewed in the prepare response’s x402Requirements). Read them from there rather than hardcoding the table above.
x402 payments and on-chain transactions are non-refundable. Confirm chain, signer/recipient, token address, and expected USDC price before paying.
