> **📌** Not all of the third‑party APIs listed below natively support x402 today—and that’s totally fine.
> Wrap any API or scraper you need behind a thin x402 server (a dozen lines of code), then let agents pay through the protocol.
> Have questions? Open a grant or reach out to @murrlincoln on X or GitHub.

## How to Contribute
1. **Pick or build your own project.**
2. **Stand up a wrapper.** Build a small HTTP service (and/or MCP Server) that calls the required API and exposes a paid endpoint.
3. **Show, don’t tell.** Record a ≤ 2‑minute video of an agent or human using your service and tag @coinbaseDev on X.
Impact-based micro‑grants up to **\$3k** are available for projects that unlock new demand or supply and are live on mainnet.
