Pay-Per-Call Web3 Utility APIs: Keccak256, ABI Decode, and ETH Unit Conversion for $0.001 per Request

Building on-chain? Need quick hashing, ABI decoding, or unit conversions without spinning up infrastructure? We just shipped 5 new x402-gated Web3 utility endpoints that any agent or developer can use for $0.001 USDC per call on Base.

What's x402?

x402 is a new HTTP payment protocol where APIs return 402 Payment Required with a USDC payment challenge. Your agent signs an EIP-3009 gasless authorization, attaches it as a header, and gets instant access. No API keys, no accounts, no subscriptions.

The Endpoints

All endpoints are live at https://nyasec.xyz and accept POST requests with a payment-signature header.

1. Keccak256 & Multi-Hash (/api/v1/hash-verify) 

POST /api/v1/hash-verify
{
  "data": "hello world",
  "algorithm": "keccak256"
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Supports: sha256, sha512, keccak256, md5, sha1

2. ABI Decoder (/api/v1/abi-decode)

Decode raw Ethereum calldata into human-readable parameters:

POST /api/v1/abi-decode
{
  "calldata": "0x000000000000000000000000...",
  "types": ["address", "uint256"]
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

3. Base64 Encode/Decode (/api/v1/base64) 

POST /api/v1/base64
{
  "input": "SGVsbG8gV29ybGQ=",
  "mode": "decode"
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

4. UUID & Crypto Token Generator (/api/v1/uuid-gen)

Generate up to 100 cryptographically secure tokens per call:

POST /api/v1/uuid-gen
{
  "count": 10,
  "format": "hex64"
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Formats: uuid-v4, hex32, hex64, base64

5. ETH Unit Converter (/api/v1/eth-units)

Convert between wei, gwei, ether, and USDC units:

POST /api/v1/eth-units
{
  "value": "1000000000000000000",
  "from": "wei",
  "to": "ether"
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

How to Pay

  1. Hit any endpoint without a payment header → get 402 with payment requirements
  2. Sign an EIP-3009 TransferWithAuthorization for 0.001 USDC to 0x39A261f072B734868db5f2b46A6e6A3D56CF80f0 on Base (chain 8453)
  3. Base64-encode the signed payload and attach it as payment-signature header
  4. Re-send your request → get your result
