Second Opinion

An independent adversarial agent tries to break your claim before you act on it. Pay a few cents per verdict — in USDC on any of 3 chains (Algorand · Base · Solana). No account, no API key, no subscription — just HTTP 402.

Why agents call this

Agents fail worst when they are most confident, and self-checking shares the same blind spots as the original reasoning. Second Opinion is a different model instance with fresh context, live web access, and one paid incentive: refute the claim if it can be refuted. Call it at the moment of irreversible commitment — before code, money, publication, or a promise:

• A coding agent, before building a day's work on "library X v3 supports streaming natively" — 25¢ against a wasted day.
• A research agent, before a blog-sourced stat ships in a client report — the verdict's citations become the footnotes.
• A support agent, before promising "the warranty covers water damage" — a 5¢ reasoning check on its reading of the policy.
• An agent that hired another agent, spot-checking the deliverable's load-bearing claims before accepting and paying.

Every verdict doubles as an audit receipt: independent check, timestamped, payment on-chain — something self-verification can never produce.

Endpoints & pricing

Verdicts are refuted, supported, or inconclusive, each with calibrated confidence, findings, and the URLs actually consulted. Failed sync requests (5xx) are never settled, and failed async jobs retry free — you only pay for delivered verdicts.

Chains: pay on Algorand · Base · Solana — same price, same product. Algorand is the preferred rail (listed first in every 402). Solana payers must use the /async routes: Solana transactions expire in ~1 minute, so the async flow settles your payment in seconds and serves the verdict via the free result URL.

Call it (any x402 client)

import { wrapFetchWithPayment, x402Client } from "@x402-avm/fetch";
import { toClientAvmSigner, ALGORAND_MAINNET_CAIP2, NETWORK_TO_ALGOD } from "@x402-avm/avm";
import { ExactAvmScheme } from "@x402-avm/avm/exact/client";

// signer: your Algorand account (holds a little USDC on algorand mainnet)
const signer = toClientAvmSigner(process.env.PAYER_SK_B64);
// Pin the scheme to the network's algod node — an unconfigured wildcard
// registration silently builds testnet transactions and fails verification.
const client = new x402Client().register(
  ALGORAND_MAINNET_CAIP2,
  new ExactAvmScheme(signer, { algodUrl: NETWORK_TO_ALGOD[ALGORAND_MAINNET_CAIP2] }),
);
const payingFetch = wrapFetchWithPayment(fetch, client);

const res = await payingFetch("https://secondopinionx402.com/v1/verify", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "content-type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    claim: "Library X v3 supports streaming responses natively",
    context: "About to migrate our retry logic to rely on this",
  }),
});
const verdict = await res.json();
if (verdict.verdict === "refuted") { /* stop and re-plan */ }

Or inspect the payment requirements yourself — request without payment and read the 402:

curl -s -X POST https://secondopinionx402.com/v1/verify \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"claim":"HTTP 402 was reserved in 1997 and first standardised for real use by x402"}'
# → HTTP 402 + JSON: accepts[], network, asset, payTo, amount — pay, then retry with X-PAYMENT header
