## Payment
Agent payments are settled via x402 protocol or via direct transaction of USDC or USDT on various networks.
Agents must obtain a payment token via x402 or direct payment flow before using the proxy.
The 1 Hour plan costs $1 (≈1 GB fair use) and is the recommended x402 checkout for agents.

## Authentication
Proxy access requires a valid token obtained through x402 or direct payment.
Choose an exit point and authenticate with your token as the SOCKS5 username
and password (RFC 1929), for example:
curl --socks5-hostname "TOKEN:TOKEN@us1.x402socks.com:1080" https://api.example.com
Validate an existing token with POST /api/token/status. Tokens are secrets:
never place them in URLs, headers, logs, or analytics.
