CoreMesh Instant
TECHNICAL GUIDE

Building a paid API without custody

How CoreMesh Instant accepts payments without storing customer balances or a merchant withdrawal key on the server.

No customer balance database

Every successful call is a direct payment authorization. The service does not hold prepaid credits, manage withdrawals, or custody customer funds.

No merchant signing key

The resource server has a public pay-to address. Settlement verification is delegated to a facilitator, while the merchant controls the receiving wallet outside the VPS.

Receipts, not promises

The local ledger records settlement responses for delivered requests. Revenue metrics count receipts; they do not count page views, 402 challenges, or advertised prices as payments.
