Advanced Developer Testing

For developers — test the X402 protocol and deploy contracts.

X402 Payment Protocol

Gasless micropayments via HTTP 402 — built for the AI Agent economy.

  • Send an HTTP request to an X402-protected endpoint on the AESC Testnet.
  • Receive the HTTP 402 response with a payment descriptor (amount, token, recipient, expiry).
  • Sign off-chain via EIP-712 (transferWithAuthorization / EIP-3009). No gas required.
  • The x402-relayer verifies and settles the transfer on-chain. Verify on the block explorer ↗.

Deploy a Contract

  • Configure Hardhat or Foundry with RPC: https://testnetrpc1.aescnet.com
  • Deploy an ERC-20 or custom contract and record the Contract Address from the block explorer ↗.
