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.

ColdWire is a terminal-noir cyber-heist strategy game. You are an operator on a hostile global grid: scout targets, bounce your route through relays, breach layered security under a live trace, and disconnect clean before it finds you. THE RUN Every connection starts a countdown. Crack or bypass each security layer — brute force is loud and trips alarms; a quiet bypass needs recon first. Find the files, move the money, wipe the logs, get out. Get traced and you lose a cut of everything you carry. THE GRID A living world map of banks, corporate systems, academic networks, and criminal outfits. Deeper targets pay more and hunt you harder. Heat builds when you're sloppy — lay low or burn cash to rotate your identity. YOUR OPERATION - Upgrade your gateway: CPU, modem, cracker, cleaner. - Buy and level tools: ICE breakers, decryption suites, spoofers, viruses, trace trackers. - Take contracts from the jobs board — daily rotations, private approaches, multi-stage weekly Operations. - Park credits in a 7-day savings vault that compounds — and survives raids. ASYNC PVP Build a defensive subnet — walls, honeypots, tarpit traps — because other operators raid your liquid credits while you're away. Scout real players, watch raid replays, take revenge. Shields protect fresh victims; bounties mark the notorious. CREWS Found a syndicate or join one: shared tag, roster, and a season leaderboard fed by every member's clean jobs and landed raids. EVERY DAY IS DIFFERENT A daily login streak that escalates, a rotating hand of three server-picked directives, long-running background operations that pay out when you return, and live-ops content that ships without app updates. FAIR BY DESIGN The economy is fully server-authoritative — payouts, raids, and progression are validated online. Cosmetics never affect balance. No ads. Jack in. The wire is cold until you cut it.
