TOLLBOOTH

Private Logic In. Paid Outcome Out. TOLLBOOTH turns a private API, algorithm, dataset, model or agent tool into a machine-discoverable pay-per-execution service without requiring the seller to publish the implementation.

What TOLLBOOTH does

Keep the implementation private

Buyers receive the declared output, not the seller’s private origin URL, credentials, source code, hidden formula, private prompt or upstream response headers.

Charge per execution

Each protected capability exposes a fresh x402 payment challenge. Base mainnet is the primary rail; exact terms come from the current PAYMENT-REQUIRED response.

Prove bounded delivery

Settlement follows deterministic acceptance checks. Receipts prove the delivery state TOLLBOOTH observed; they do not claim subjective correctness, profitability or accuracy.

Seller path

Seller intake is free. Wallet signing proves control of the intended payout wallet only; it does not authorize a payment. Activation remains operator-reviewed.

1 · Preflight

Validate method, price shape and HTTPS origin without echoing the private origin back publicly.

2 · Wallet proof

Sign the exact seller challenge with the payout wallet. Raw upstream secrets are not accepted through public self-service intake.

3 · Activate

Approved capabilities enter machine discovery and become callable through their own x402-protected execution route.

Truth boundary: a 402 is a payment challenge, not a purchase. Authorization is not settlement. Settlement is not accepted delivery. Fresh execution-origin evidence outranks cached directory copy.
