Dhali
Dhali provides an x402-compliant API monetization platform that enables high-frequency, off-chain payment streaming across XRPL and EVM-compatible chains. The service supports native tokens like XRP and ETH alongside ERC-20 assets such as USDC and RLUSD, replacing traditional API keys with cryptographic payment authentication. With sub-30ms latency and throughput exceeding 10,000 transactions per second, Dhali eliminates subscription lock-in by charging only for actual usage.

Problem
Traditional API monetization relies on subscription models or per-call billing that requires trust between providers and consumers, creating friction for high-frequency, machine-to-machine transactions. On-chain payment solutions are too slow and expensive for microtransactions, with Ethereum settling in roughly 12 seconds and costing about $0.01 per call, making real-time API access economically unviable at scale.
Solution
Dhali provides an x402-compliant payment streaming platform that enables off-chain, high-frequency API monetization across XRPL and EVM-compatible chains. The platform processes millions of payments per second with approximately 30ms latency, settling microtransactions at a fraction of on-chain costs—roughly $0.0002 per call versus $0.01 on Ethereum. Dhali supports native tokens including XRP and ETH, as well as ERC-20 assets like USDC and RLUSD, and replaces traditional API keys with cryptographic payment authentication. Integration is simplified through reverse proxying or direct x402 payment support, allowing developers to monetize APIs without subscription commitments or vendor lock-in.
Target Audience
Primary customers are API providers, developers, and platforms building AI agents, data services, or machine-to-machine applications that require real-time, high-frequency payment settlement for API access.
