# Overview

> Conduit is the first public x402 facilitator on Arc Network.

Conduit is the first public x402 facilitator on Arc Network. Gate any API, content, or data behind USDC micropayments — paid automatically by AI agents and HTTP clients.

## What is x402?

x402 is an HTTP-native payment protocol. Instead of blocking access with a subscription or API key, your server returns a `402 Payment Required` response. The client pays and retries — automatically.

Conduit is the facilitator. It handles verification, settlement, and the human pay page. You focus on your API.
