Corbits is a hosted facilitator service that streamlines x402 payment processing. By using Corbits’ endpoints, you can offload payment verification and settlement without needing to operate your own facilitator infrastructure.
Prerequisites
- Node.js and npm installed
- A SKALE Chain endpoint
- Basic understanding of x402 protocol
Configuration
Environment Variables
Create a .env file with Corbits configuration:
# Receiver address for the x402 payment
RECEIVING_ADDRESS=0xAddress_Receiving_Payment
# please don't share your private key with anyone
PRIVATE_KEY=0xyour_pk
SDK import
Please install the following Viem and Farmeter SDKs created by the Corbits team:
npm install @faremeter/info
npm install @faremeter/middleware

Troubleshooting
Connection Issues
If you cannot connect to Corbits:
- Verify the facilitator URL is correct
- Check network connectivity
- Ensure API credentials are valid
- Review firewall settings
Payment Failures
Common causes and solutions:
| Issue | Solution |
|---|
| Invalid signature | Verify wallet configuration and signing |
| Insufficient balance | Ensure payer has enough tokens |
| Network mismatch | Check chain ID matches configuration |
| Expired authorization | Increase maxTimeoutSeconds |
