mppx-stableyard

A new payment method for MPP that lets any agent pay from any chain, and any merchant receive on any chain — powered by Stableyard.

tempo()      → Tempo chain only
stripe()     → cards only
stableyard() → Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, Ethereum, Solana (+ Tempo, Movement soon) + fiat to bank

The Problem

MPP launched with two payment methods:

tempo() — works only on Tempo chain
stripe() — works only with cards

If an agent has USDC on Base and the server only accepts tempo(), the agent can't pay. Wrong chain. Stuck.

The Solution

stableyard() — a new payment method that plugs into mppx:

import { stableyard } from 'mppx-stableyard/server'

const mppx = Mppx.create({
  methods: [
    tempo.charge({ ... }),      // Tempo chain
    stableyard({                // ANY chain
      apiKey: 'sy_secret_...',
      destination: 'merchant@stableyard',
    }),
  ],
})

One line added. The server now accepts payments from Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, Ethereum, and Solana — with Tempo and Movement coming soon.

Supported Chains

| Chain | Chain ID | sourceChain value | Provider | Settlement Time | Status | |-------|----------|-------------------|----------|-----------------|--------| | Base | 8453 | base | direct_transfer | ~1s | Live | | Polygon | 137 | polygon | gasyard | ~15s | Live | | Arbitrum | 42161 | arbitrum | gasyard | ~15s | Live | | Ethereum | 1 | ethereum | gasyard | ~15s | Live | | Solana | 103 | solana | near_intents | ~22s | Live | | Tempo | 4217 | tempo | relay | ~15s | Coming soon | | Movement | 2 | movement | gasyard_v2 | ~3s | Coming soon |

Agent specifies the chain when creating the client:

stableyard({ apiKey: '...', chain: 'base' })     // pay from Base
stableyard({ apiKey: '...', chain: 'polygon' })   // pay from Polygon
stableyard({ apiKey: '...', chain: 'solana' })     // pay from Solana
stableyard({ apiKey: '...', chain: 'tempo' })      // pay from Tempo (coming soon)
stableyard({ apiKey: '...', chain: 'movement' })   // pay from Movement (coming soon)

Merchant receives on their preferred chain regardless of where the agent paid from. Configure once in the Stableyard dashboard.

How It Works

Agent calls API
  ↓
402 Payment Required
  WWW-Authenticate: Payment method="stableyard"
  { amount: "100000", currency: "USDC", destination: "merchant@stableyard" }
  ↓
Agent (mppx-stableyard client):
  1. POST /v2/sessions { amount, destination, sourceChain: "base" }
     → Gets deposit address on Base (inline, one API call)
  2. Sends 0.10 USDC to deposit address
  3. POST /submit-tx { txHash }
     → Stableyard detects payment
  4. Polls → settled
  ↓
Agent retries with credential { sessionId }
  ↓
Server calls POST /v2/sessions/:id/verify
  → { verified: true }
  ↓
200 OK + data + Payment-Receipt

Cross-Chain Example (Polygon → Base)

Agent has USDC on Polygon. Merchant wants settlement on Base.

Agent: POST /v2/sessions { destination: "merchant@stableyard", sourceChain: "polygon" }
  → Returns gasyard gateway calldata (approve + deposit txs)
  → Agent executes gateway transactions on Polygon
  → Stableyard routes Polygon → Base via solver network
  → Merchant receives USDC on Base in ~15 seconds

Same-Chain Example (Base → Base)

Agent: POST /v2/sessions { destination: "merchant@stableyard", sourceChain: "base" }
  → Returns direct_transfer deposit address
  → Agent sends USDC to address on Base
  → Settled in ~1 second

Install

npm i mppx-stableyard mppx

Server

Accept MPP payments via Stableyard. Settle to any chain or fiat.

import { Mppx, tempo } from 'mppx/server'
import { stableyard } from 'mppx-stableyard/server'

const mppx = Mppx.create({
  methods: [
    tempo.charge({ currency: USDC, recipient: '0x...' }),
    stableyard({
      apiKey: 'sy_secret_...',
      destination: 'merchant@stableyard',
    }),
  ],
})

app.get('/api/data', async (req) => {
  const result = await mppx['stableyard/charge']({
    amount: '100000',
    description: 'Premium data',
  })(req)

  if (result.status === 402) return result.challenge
  return result.withReceipt(Response.json({ data: '...' }))
})

The 402 response includes a WWW-Authenticate: Payment method="stableyard" challenge. The server verifies payment via Stableyard's /v2/sessions/:id/verify endpoint.

Client

Agent automatically handles 402 → pay via Stableyard → retry.

import { Mppx } from 'mppx/client'
import { stableyard } from 'mppx-stableyard/client'

Mppx.create({
  methods: [
    stableyard({
      apiKey: 'sy_secret_...',
      chain: 'base',        // or 'polygon', 'arbitrum', 'ethereum', 'solana'
      sendPayment: async (deposit) => {
        // Send USDC to deposit address
        return await sendERC20(deposit.address, deposit.amount.raw)
      },
    }),
  ],
})

// fetch auto-handles 402 → pay via Stableyard → retry
const res = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data')

Stableyard sits alongside Tempo and Stripe as a payment rail in MPP. Not competing — extending.
