Kobaru
x402 micropayment gateway for monetizing APIs and digital services
Visit kobaru.io ↗What is Kobaru?
Kobaru is a payment gateway built for the machine economy, enabling developers and organizations to monetize APIs through x402 microtransactions with minimal latency. It handles payment verification, settlement, and network fees, supporting multiple blockchains including Solana, Base, and SKALE. The platform targets builders working with high-frequency data and micro-value scenarios where traditional payment methods are impractical.
The service operates non-custodially for standard blockchain operations, though a fiat settlement option requires temporary custody for bank deposits. Developers can integrate paywalled APIs using the x402 protocol without managing cryptocurrency directly. The maker built it with Claude Code.
