Facilitators verify and settle x402 payments on behalf of resource servers. Anyone can run a facilitator. You can run your own or self-facilitate. The table below lists selected production options; it is not an exhaustive catalog.

Which option should I use?

Use this as a quick operator guide:
  • Public testnet / quickstart: use the x402.org facilitator
  • Managed production mainnet: use a production facilitator provider that supports your target network
  • Full control: run your own facilitator or self-facilitate in-process
If you are evaluating a mainnet EVM route, decide on your production facilitator path up front. The public x402.org facilitator is convenient for development, but it is not intended to be the default production choice for mainnet routes. For testnet development, the x402.org facilitator requires no setup. It is not intended for mainnet routes; use a production facilitator, a self-hosted facilitator, or self-facilitation for production networks.
