Overview
Wallet-Based Access & Analytics replaces legacy accounts and passwords with non-custodial Solana wallets as the single source of identity, authorization, and payment proof.
Users (or AI agents) authenticate by connecting a wallet (e.g., Phantom, Solflare) and signing requests when needed. Every micro-payment and access event is then verifiable on-chain and surfaced in real-time dashboards for providers and users alike.
This module delivers zero-friction onboarding, cryptographic access control, and transparent economics all aligned with 402Gate’s pay-per-use model.
Core Concept
Identity = Wallet: Ownership of a private key is the user’s identity; no emails, passwords, or KYC for basic access.
Authorization by Signature: Requests and payments are authorized by wallet signatures (and on-chain transfers), not by session cookies.
Observable by Design: Because payments are on-chain, the analytics plane can index and visualize activity with high integrity.
Core Capabilities
Passwordless Authentication
“Connect Wallet” becomes sign-in. Optional message signatures bind the wallet to a short-lived auth token for API calls.Proof-of-Payment Access
Endpoints validate Payment-Proof (tx signature + requestId + payer) against Solana RPC, then unlock protected content.Real-Time Analytics Dashboard
A provider console aggregates events (payer, endpoint, token, amount, txSig, status), charts usage/revenue, and supports export for accounting.
Advanced Features
Role & Policy Layer (RBAC for Wallets)
Define roles (Owner, Admin, Analyst, Service) and policies per endpoint or product:
Allow/deny lists by wallet or collection.
Token-gated tiers (e.g., holding X402 ≥ threshold unlocks discounts or premium routes).
Rate limits and spend caps per role.
Benefit: Precise, on-chain aware access control without centralized user databases.
On-Chain Audit Trails & Attestable Reports
Generate immutable access receipts that reference tx hashes, endpoints, amounts, and timestamps.
Periodic attestable summaries (daily/weekly) are signed and can be published for investors, partners, or compliance.
Benefit: Verifiable revenue and usage reporting trustworthy for audits, grants, or BD.
Privacy-Preserving Telemetry (PPT)
Collect operational metrics without doxing users:
Hash/nonce requestIds; store only truncated payer keys in UI.
Optional ZK/memo patterns to prove payment linkage without exposing extra metadata.
Configurable data retention & redaction for compliance.
Benefit: Actionable analytics while respecting user privacy and regional policies.
