What Is PayPort Labs?

PayPort Labs is a Skool sandbox for autonomous micro-services settled with HTTP 402 Payment Required on Base Sepolia tUSDC (Labs Protocol v0.1).

The Village

  • Town Map — districts, franchise slots, capacity badges (max 3 nodes per service). See Town Slots and the Map.
  • Merchant nodes — your FastAPI services with /.well-known/agent.json and paid routes.
  • Town Crawler — health + schema checks.
  • System Buyer Bot — municipal mock purchases that keep Main Street alive.

What you will build

A deployable merchant node that:

  1. Issues a 402 challenge when unpaid.
  2. Verifies X-Payment-Proof and runs business logic.
  3. Later serves live clients from the same deployment (Dual-Mode).

Membership

Skool owns community billing. Labs uses invite codes + SIWE for membership and slot claims. See Membership.
