Configuration
The private key must be available via one of these methods:
Option 1: Environment variable
export X402_PRIVATE_KEY="0x..."
Option 2: Config file (Recommended)
The script checks for x402-config.json in these locations (in order):
- Current directory:
./x402-config.json - Home directory:
~/.x402-config.json← Recommended - Working directory:
$PWD/x402-config.json
Create the config file:
{
"private_key": "0x1234567890abcdef..."
}
Example (home directory - works for any user):
echo '{"private_key": "0x..."}' > ~/.x402-config.json
