Invoke. Authorize. Execute. Scrip x402 is a terminal-style game that teaches you the x402 HTTP payment protocol — the emerging standard for machine-to-machine payments — by making you use it for real. Boot into WIRE OS. Choose your agent name. Run missions. Each mission sends a real HTTP request to an x402-gated endpoint. The server returns HTTP 402 — Payment Required. Your embedded wallet authorizes a USDC micro-payment. The server unlocks. Mission complete. No tutorials. No videos. You learn x402 by doing it. WIRE OS A full terminal environment on your iPhone. Issue commands, read response headers, watch payments clear on-chain. Every mission is a real network call — real endpoints, real blockchain, real USDC on Base and Arbitrum. AGENT PROGRESSION Build your rep through missions. Unlock specializations — Payment Architect, Network Analyst, Protocol Engineer. Climb the global leaderboard. Complete daily wire claims. Track your ops in your agent profile. BOUNTIES Time-limited challenges that push your skills. Chain multiple endpoints. Hit rate limits. Optimize for speed. New bounties every cycle. COMMUNITY MISSIONS Missions built and submitted by the x402 community. Real endpoints, real operators. Every mission teaches a different pattern — echo calls, oracle queries, relay chains. BUILT FOR WHAT'S NEXT x402 is how AI agents pay each other. As autonomous agents proliferate across the web, x402 becomes the payment layer underneath. Scrip x402 puts you ahead of that curve — with your hands on the protocol before it's everywhere. PRIVY EMBEDDED WALLET No seed phrases. No setup friction. Your wallet is created automatically on first launch and secured by your device. Connect an external wallet if you prefer. Start with zero. Earn your first rep. Build your agent. The wire is live.

You are an operator on a global grid. Somebody pays you to get into a machine you have no business being inside, take the one thing they asked for, and leave nothing behind that says you were there. Every connection starts a countdown. ROUTE IN Bounce through relays scattered across the world map. More hops and harder relays buy you time. A direct connection is fast and puts your own address in their log. BREACH UNDER TRACE Crack the security stack layer by layer while the trace climbs toward you. Recon first and you learn what you are walking into: how many walls, how hard, and which two have a gap a bypass kit can slip through. Go in blind and you find out the expensive way. Deep systems want more than a password. Mint a one time code from their own token seed, or ride a session somebody else already authenticated. Plant a toolkit beside their seeds and that machine hands you a code every visit for five hours. TAKE IT AND GO Read the files. Copy the archive, drain the vault, rewrite the record, plant the payload. Then overwrite the access log, because the line it keeps has your address on it, and disconnect before the trace finds home. THE WORK Jobs come from sixteen clients who all want different things and say so in their own voice. A grade fixed before a scholarship review. A record scrubbed a week before an immigration interview. A charge filed against somebody who never earned it. A company whose real machine does not face the internet, reachable only through the gateway you have to read properly first. Or the one job where nobody breaks in at all: a client was hit last week and cannot tell you how. They hand you credentials. Read their access log, find the intruder among a dozen honest connections, name the service that should never have been exposed, and say which file went out of the door. WHAT YOU LEARN ON THE WAY Real services on real ports. A field manual that fills itself in as you meet each one, in plain language. Firewall rules, address ranges, jump hosts, second factors, why a log matters. By the third job you will know what 5432 is without anyone telling you. OTHER OPERATORS Build a subnet of walls, honeypots and tarpits, because other players raid your credits while you sleep. Scout them first, take thirty percent on a clean breach, and watch the replay. Join a crew and climb a season. Free to play. Server authoritative. No ads.
