x402-hono

Hono middleware integration for the x402 Payment Protocol. This package allows you to easily add paywall functionality to your Hono applications using the x402 protocol.

Installation

npm install x402-hono

Quick Start

import { Hono } from "hono";
import { paymentMiddleware, Network } from "x402-hono";

const app = new Hono();

// Configure the payment middleware
app.use(paymentMiddleware(
  "0xYourAddress",
  {
    "/protected-route": {
      price: "$0.10",
      network: "base-sepolia",
      config: {
        description: "Access to premium content",
      }
    }
  }
));

// Implement your route
app.get("/protected-route", (c) => {
  return c.json({ message: "This content is behind a paywall" });
});

serve({
  fetch: app.fetch,
  port: 3000
});

Configuration

The paymentMiddleware function accepts three parameters:

1. payTo: Your receiving address (0x${string})
2. routes: Route configurations for protected endpoints
3. facilitator: (Optional) Configuration for the x402 facilitator service

See the Middleware Options section below for detailed configuration options.

}
