How Build-your-own x402 payer typically works

Wire each upstream vendor yourself, implement HTTP 402 payment, MCP schemas, and catalog maintenance.

How Syra is different

Syra ships the gateway, OpenAPI/x402 catalog, MCP server, and typed SDK so agent builders pay per call instead of rebuilding settlement and tool packaging.

When Build-your-own x402 payer wins: You only need one internal route and already own the settlement stack.
When Syra wins: You want many crypto intel tools with one USDC payer and minutes-to-first-call DX.

Honest note

Direct upstream accounts can be cheaper on a single route. Syra wins when the agent loop needs many tools with one USDC payer and no vendor onboarding. We do not claim to replace every enterprise contract.
