Clicks Protocol

Case study · Base Mainnet · July 2026

x402 payment followed by Clicks settlement on Base

x402 verified and settled a 0.01 USDC payment. Clicks then applied the seller's settlement policy and produced public routing evidence on Base.

What we tested

  1. 1An isolated buyer wallet authorized an x402 payment.
  2. 2Coinbase Developer Platform verified and settled it through EIP-3009.
  3. 3The seller approved ClicksSplitterV4 for exactly 0.01 USDC.
  4. 4Clicks routed 0.008 USDC to the liquid destination and 0.002 USDC to ClicksYieldRouter.

Public evidence

Three successful transactions

Total

0.010 USDC

Liquid

0.008 USDC

Routed

0.002 USDC

Live integration check

We also ran a moneyless test against the private integration. It checked receipt creation, append-only persistence, deduplication and idempotency conflict handling without signing a payment or submitting another Base transaction.

Repeating the same verified revenue event returned the existing receipt. Reusing its payment key with a different amount was rejected.

ACP Mainnet evidence

A funded agent job completed end to end

A bounded ACP job moved 0.01 USDC through funding, agent registration, an exact splitter allowance and Clicks routing on Base Mainnet. The job completed with 0.008 USDC routed to the agent and 0.002 USDC to ClicksYieldRouter.

All five transactions succeeded. The remaining splitter allowance was zero. The receipt trail reached planned, submitted, chain confirmed and settled without a second funding transfer.

Current limitation

The x402 payment and Clicks settlement were separate Base transactions. They were not atomic: the payment could succeed even if the later routing transaction failed or was delayed.

Reconciliation therefore keeps both transaction references as separate evidence. This test proves the post-payment routing path, not a single all-or-nothing transaction.

Pilot with Clicks

Testing an agent commerce payment flow?

We are working with a small number of teams that need revenue routing and verifiable settlement receipts after payment.
