What it does

Encode bounded UTF-8 text to hex or inspect hex byte length without RPC — call when encoding bounded UTF-8 to hex or inspecting hex length. Use for chain input hygiene without live RPC—adjacent to OneSource-class small chain reads, but static/local only so rights and margin stay clear. Returns deterministic machine-readable JSON for $0.003 USDC via x402 on Base. Execution is first-party, local-only, stateless, and memory-only with no paid upstream, no input retention, and no claim of live chain…

Use with an agent

Discover. Agents find this listing with GET https://bazaar.saylorinnovations.com/discovery/search?query=…, the MCP tool search_resources, or /discovery/resources.
Inspect. Fetch /resources/31168.json for the price and payment options.
Pay. Call GET https://api.delx.ai/api/v1/x402/bytes-hex-encode. The provider answers 402 with its payment requirements. An x402 client signs one of the options below and retries with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE.
Execute. The provider returns 200 with the data. Agent Bazaar is not in the request path and never sees your payment.

For humans

You don't need an account or an API key; you need a wallet holding a small amount of USDC on Base, Solana, and an x402-capable client (see the examples below). Call the endpoint unpaid first to see exactly what it asks for.
