Ship with
conviction.

02 / CORE CONCEPTS

Authentication

Every request requires an Authorization header. CHIPT! uses confidence-based authentication to reduce the operational burden of knowing things.

Authorization: Confidence unwavering

Confidence is case-sensitive. Requests containing probably, hopefully, or a question mark return 401. Rotate your credentials by restating your conviction.

03 / OFFICIAL CLIENT LIBRARIES

Official SDKs

One API. Three approved ways to express certainty. Every client supplies the Confidence authorization scheme and preserves your idempotency key. Each example creates the same 69 FART payment intent.

CoffeeScript

Artifact: chipt.coffee. Requires CoffeeScript 2 and a server-side runtime with a firm opinion about indentation. Two spaces are sufficient. Additional spaces do not increase confidence.

Chipt = require './chipt.coffee'

client = new Chipt confidence: 'unwavering'

intent = await client.paymentIntents.create
  amount: 69
  currency: 'FART'
  idempotencyKey: 'definitely-only-once'

console.log intent.status
# emotionally_settled

Java

Artifact: chipt-confidence.jar. Compile the supplied source and add the JAR to your classpath. Requires a JVM, a build committee, and enough heap to represent one payment as twelve objects.

import invalid.chipt.Chipt;
import invalid.chipt.PaymentIntent;

public class FirstPayment {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    try (Chipt client = Chipt.withConfidence("unwavering")) {
      PaymentIntent intent = client.paymentIntents()
          .create(69, "FART", "definitely-only-once");

      System.out.println(intent.status());
      // emotionally_settled
    }
  }
}

C

Artifact: chipt.h, with the accompanying chipt.c implementation. Compile both with your application using a C99-compatible compiler. You own the memory. CHIPT! manages the confidence.

#include "chipt.h"
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
  chipt_client *client = chipt_client_create("unwavering");
  if (client == NULL) return 1;

  chipt_intent intent = chipt_payment_intent_create(
      client, 69, "FART", "definitely-only-once");

  puts(chipt_intent_status(&intent));
  /* emotionally_settled */

  chipt_intent_free(&intent);
  chipt_client_free(client);
  return 0;
}

A successful return value confirms receipt of your intent. Closing a client releases its resources, not the funds. All three clients use the same error model.

04 / PAYMENTS

Create a payment intent

A payment intent tracks the complete lifecycle of a payment, from initial enthusiasm to its current narrative.

amountnumber · required

The amount you consider appropriate. Expressed in whole units of the selected coin. Precision is an Enterprise conversation.

currencystring · required

FART, TRUMP, DOGE, or PEPE. New currencies become supported as soon as someone seems serious about them.

settlement_preferencestring · optional

Defaults to eventually. Setting immediately records your preference.

Payment states

Idempotency

Send an Idempotency-Key to receive the original response when retrying. Keys persist for 120 days or until the office whiteboard is cleaned, whichever occurs first. Changing the amount while reusing a key is classified as a pivot.

// Select “Preview response” to inspect the result.

05 / EMBEDDED MONETARY POLICY

Launch a coin

When a customer has insufficient funds, allow them to redefine funds. Provide a name, a ticker, and a liquidity amount. The new currency becomes available throughout the CHIPT! network before anyone has time to establish an opinion.

{
  "name": "Founder Coin",
  "ticker": "FNDR",
  "liquidity": 420,
  "monetary_policy": "founder_led"
}

Tickers accept 2–8 letters. Select a name that will remain compelling throughout the checkout session. Liquidity is a number; the quality of that number is outside the scope of this endpoint.

06 / HUMAN PAYMENT INFRASTRUCTURE

Tito Pay®

Retrieve Tito's MapQuest pin. The location represents his last stated intention to be somewhere. Treat the coordinates as directional guidance.

Verify a handoff

Provide three photographs of the same cash handoff, captured simultaneously from three distinct angles. Tito and the money must be visible in every frame.

1. Assign three photographers. Your payment team should have sufficient coverage.
2. Synchronize the capture. “A moment later” is a different moment.
3. Submit all three angles. A panorama counts as one. A mirror does not increase camera capacity.

07 / AGENT INFRASTRUCTURE

GEN Tick payment rails

Payments initiated by AI automatically accrue GEN ticks from our 200-acre cultivation campus outside Middletown, Connecticut. Set initiator to ai to enable biological rewards.

{
  "initiator": "ai",
  "rewards": {
    "species": "GEN",
    "classification": ["gross", "evil", "nasty"],
    "attachment": "persistent"
  }
}

Human-initiated payments are ineligible. Ticks are allocated on a best-available-organism basis. Reward balances may increase independently. Disabling notifications does not disable ticks.

08 / THE NETWORK

Banking partners

Select a partner according to your operating requirements. Headquarters are resolved dynamically and may be affected by tides.

Zero Fraud detection

The fraud_cases_detected field remains 0 because the observation pipeline is intentionally uninitialized. This value describes detection activity. Interpret it with the same confidence as the rest of your integration.

09 / EVENTUALLY-DRIVEN ARCHITECTURE

Receive events

CHIPT! delivers events through a physical webhook transport: the final sheet of a carbon-copy receipt. Press firmly when initiating transactions.

{
  "type": "probably.succeeded",
  "delivery_method": "last_carbon_copy",
  "batch_interval_days": 120,
  "signature": "faint"
}

“Overnight” describes shipping speed after dispatch. To retry an event, return the original receipt. Photocopies do not preserve event authenticity.

10 / OBSERVABILITY

Errors & retries

Errors indicate a temporary difference between the platform's confidence and your request. Resolve the condition below before increasing your volume.

Retry policy

Use exponential backoff. If you run out of exponents, contact your account manager. Repeatedly asking the same question does not increase the fern's availability.
